The other 5 nations are so much closer (if not better) than the big three SH sides now... we used to be quite a ways off around the turn of the millennium.Now Italy are playing very good if not excellent test sides in their annual competition rather than a couple of very good test sides and some mediocre ones.I know that it's painful to watch sometimes... but we would be undoing so much good work if we pulled the plug now. And as [USER=45598]@The Alpha Bro[/USER] mentioned, with their 20's and their half-backs... all the good work could start to bear fruit in the next few years.</blockquote>
