[QUOTE="Saintjay, post: 1173907, member: 55969"] I think it's a reasonable point. Some of the best teams have been based on a core of one club. For England it's historically been Leicester then Saracens. Nz with Crusaders etc, etc. Of course that argument can some what be blown out the water with South Africa. I think the best measure is how many world class players start in your team. I can't remember who said it but to win a world cup you need four / five players who would get into a world XV. So that's arguably SA, Ireland, AB's and France. I happily accept England are what they are with the players they have. At the moment they are probably 5th/6th in the world, mid-table six nations, and that seems about right. [/QUOTE]
