[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 812907, member: 20605"] ... or is it other countries' seeming inability to drag themselves up to the required standard? Did the absolute dominance of cricket by the Baggy Greens ruin that sport? Did the Dominance of Football by Brazil ruin that sport? There is absolutely no reason why other countries (with, I might add, far more financial and player resources) should not be able to match the All Blacks consistently. It will take TIME. The All Blacks didn't get to where they are now with quick fixes and short cuts. It started after the 2007 RWC debacle and it has taken nine-years of hard work, dedication, self-belief and commitment, with plenty of setbacks too (2009 for example). The All Blacks dominance will not last forever, but I suspect that Kiwi fans are going to bloody-well enjoy it while it lasts. I know I am!!! [/QUOTE]
