[QUOTE="Kiwiwomble, post: 1159560, member: 45355"] some thing that i dont think gets talked about too much....historically....aussie isn't a rugby super power, only grew in the 80's and 90's really and the 2000's saw the tail of that short lived popularity, we just have this impression because it coincides with RWC's and the rise of the professional game Aussie doesn't have the structure below the international game to breed players, super rugby isn;t long enough and doesn't have the inherent connection to historic rugby areas [/QUOTE]
