[QUOTE="AM_Bokke, post: 873021, member: 76028"] This is not true. SA's economy is four times larger than NZ's. It is not the country's economy that prevents SA from having a rugby team that is competitive with the All Blacks. The problem with the competitiveness of world rugby is that rugby is the most popular sport in only one country: New Zealand. Lastly, with regards to selection, if SA wants to have a rugby brand that can compete with the All Blacks brand financially then they should do what the All Blacks have done and keep very close, domestic control of their players.
