[QUOTE="Mcfadden, post: 741239, member: 72865"] Also depends which part you're talking about. The only place that's miserable in terms of rain is the west coast of the south island, the deep south (Otago, Invercargil, etc) and Wellington can throw a tantrum with it's gales and horizontal rain. Christchurch isn't really rainy (in fact, they suffered a shortage not long ago), it's just bloody cold. Beautiful mind you, but very chilly. There's no such thing as winter north of Auckland. And places like Hawkes Bay and Bay of Plenty can be just as good as what Australia has to offer. So there are plenty of parts that are probably better than England. Overall I think it's in the genes a bit. Getting started at an early age helps. A lot of physical contact games that involve sprinting and avoid being clobbered are quite popular, a couple have even been banned. The Maori and Polynesian influence also helps in terms of adding another dimension to attacking rugby. [/QUOTE]
