[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 582340, member: 59145"] Unfortunately I can't really make any comments without sounding like an idiot. NH rugby isn't televised consistently here, so the few times I've tried to get into it I get frustrated by not being able to watch every week. I feel like NZ is always going to be the team to beat if you want to be number one and I don't think that's going to change based on their young talent. If someone wants to oust them I personally think their best chance would be to pounce in the next year or so - with potentially a new hooker, centres and wings. As for the NH breaching the supposed gulf it's quite possible, as I said I don't want NH rugby but nothing I have seen in the current player pool leads me to believe that (please don't take offence by this) as England and Wales (who are the teams most capable of doing so) play the same, choking, forward based style that us Saffers do and arguably they do it marginally worse. SA actually seems to be moving in different direction at the moment, but who knows. It's far to early to tell, I guess we'll have a better idea after the EotY tours. [/QUOTE]
