[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 872747, member: 45598"] Or Ireland who beat them last year and definitely would have done as good a job, if not better, this summer against a misfiring NZ side, England too. NZ's main challengers are in the north now, I expect England to turn them over in Twickenham next year and I wouldn't fear them all that much in Dublin if they were to come. Today a very good team beat an average side who managed to hide their weaknesses against other average sides in previous weeks, not an unbeatable test side by any means. It might take 12 years for their to be competition in The Rugby Championship, but that will be due to Argentina developing to their full potential and/or SA sorting out their off field problems. NZ's level won't fluctuate much (And hasn't since around 2005) they won't likely be as good as the golden generation just past anytime soon but will never be as "bad" as the imbalanced side they brought to the 03 RWC again... Unless they give Gats his dream job. [/QUOTE]
