[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 710083, member: 20605"] I don't believe that is true. All the travel involved, and the fact that Tier 1 teams at the top end of the World Rankings have to play each other twice makes The Rugby Championship a much tougher competition than any world cup. Compare any schedule for The Rugby Championship with that of RWC winners since the beginning of Tri-Nations/TRC [B]2011 New Zealand[/B] v France twice, v Australia, v Argentina [B]2007 South Africa[/B] v England twice, v Argentina (arguably the easiest run of any RWC winner) [B]2003 England[/B] v South Africa, v Wales, v France, v Australia (arguably the toughest run of any RWC winner) [B]1999 Australia[/B] v Ireland, v Wales, v South Africa, v France [/QUOTE]
