[QUOTE="All Black, post: 913939, member: 77286"] I think all those coaches go to the NH. NZ, South Africa and Australian coaches have all helped immensely to improve rugby in the NH. Its the players from the SH as well that helps out just by playing there. One thing that no one has mentioned about the All Blacks is their polynesian players. Polynesians are built for this game. You can't just say any country with the history, passion and infrastructure that NZ has, will be as dominant as the All Blacks. I disagree there because we have been fortunate to be close to polynesian talent. If Japan had everything we had, they still wouldnt have had polynesians and that includes Maoris of course. Some of these polynesians did not come through the NZ rugby system at a young age. They came from the islands. Fiji can play 7s and they never learnt their rugby here. [/QUOTE]
