[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 758777, member: 12207"] It's not really arrogant given I'm not a Kiwi, but there's no denying that NZ have been a smothering force on the sport over the past 10 years in particular, and it stands to reason that their developmental systems leading up through to Super Rugby have a lot to do with that. But it's not just them of course, I simply use their involvement simply due to how large their footprint on the game as a whole is. We're talking about quality here, and so promotion/relegation is kind of irrelevant... Ultimately the pool of players available across three countries is also just larger, and represents a greater diversity of style and skill than the more narrow pickings of France and England.
