[QUOTE="barkinghooker, post: 976384, member: 71333"] Scotland is one of forefathers and France joined with an established growth of the game and both have won the 5 nations as it was back then. Italy joined and it did nothing. They may be in a better place with their pro 14 teams and I expect them to be more competitive over the next cycle. I think Argentina have gone backwards. They play an attractive game but their previous sucess at the 2007 world cup lead to an evolution that is nothing like their history of a more northern Europe style of play and they just get spanked nowadays. They also got to the semi finals beating the hosts twice to finish 3rd that world cup which warranted a serious approach to higher profile matches. I believe a strong domestic game is more important than playing in high profile international championships to make a successful strong team. (That argie team had 20 something European based players ) [/QUOTE]
