[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 805283, member: 74121"] The gulf between New Zealand, and the other tier 1 nations with similar small populations (Scotland, Wales & Ireland) is just amazing - the sport must be so well organised in NZ at all levels to maintain these sort of performances and strength in depth. There is no excuse for the northern hemisphere teams and they have to aspire to closing that gap against a country with similar resources. I hate hearing commentators talk about Wales being decent for two tests as if that is an acheivement and excuses them getting horsed in the last test. It's unacceptable. Looking at the NZ performance though I'm just relieved Scotland are hiding away in Japan just now; they'd put a cricket score up against us. [/QUOTE]
