[QUOTE="Derpus, post: 1049094, member: 76427"] 100%. Europe are putting the sort of money we can only dream of into Rugby. No one, not even the All Blacks, can fight the tide. South African and Australian depth has been decimated, local comps destroyed (not to mention the other issues with South Africa). We've even accelerated the process through terrible management. Hell rugby here can't even compete domestically. A single NRL team basically has the same budget as RA. Eventually France may well win a RWC but by that point they will realistically only be competing against a handful of countries. My general premise wasn't that Australia are better than France or have a better chance at winning a RWC. We have no chance of that. I generally think that the French hype is hugely overblown and they would be put to the sword by a quality All Black or South African side. [/QUOTE]
