[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 710132, member: 40658"] Why compare those 2 events with one another?? The World Cup isn't played annually, so the stats isn't a fair comparison. The reason why Australia and South Africa haven't won so many Rugby Championship/Tri-nations trophies, is because of the World Cup. The reason being, the World Cup is the most coveted ***le to win in World Rugby, and nations and coaches prepare a 4-year programme to win the World Cup. They use tournaments like the Rugby Championship as preparation for that goal. Ask any SA coach, which trophy would he rather win, and I promise you the answer will be the World Cup. [/QUOTE]
