[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 996630, member: 65365"] Absolutely, and the birth rate in recent times is much greater in the north island, definitely 20-30 years ago when the current players were born the birth rates were easily 4 times as high in the north compared to the south. When I look at who I picked for the top 46 players, 9 were born in the South Island, 21 in the north, and 6 overseas (interestingly, 3 of these are tight head props). So the South Island look to be doing better than their population would suggest (though I’m sure it’s not statistically significant). I would say the South Island is more beautiful, but there are some awesome thermal beauties and lakes in the middle of the north island, rugged rain forests and beautiful beaches on the coromandel peninsula, and some beautiful beaches and warm climate in the far north. Wellington is by far the prettiest city, Auckland isn’t too bad and has loads of Asian restaurants. There is not a single other city or town worth visiting. [/QUOTE]
