Besides that, they've been shite as usual. Ireland have on the whole been competitive the entire decade, but they have just one Grand Slam to show for it. France have been France and as such can never win a poll like this. England - Were outstanding for 3 years and fairly competitive for a few others. Hard facts - 1 world cup win, another final, plus consistently good 6Nations performances, and, until the last couple years, the ability to beat some SH teams, makes England the best team from the Northern Hemisphere over the course of the decade by quite a way. However, considering how **** they've played for some of the decade, they deserve nothing. Argentina - have done very well, but their peak was in 2007 which saw them 3rd in the world cup but they haven't beaten any of the Tri nations yet. Australia - are always a good team no matter what - but they've won nothing in the noughties. South Africa - fantastic end to the decade with a world cup and some great 3N performances.
