[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 93494"] It kind of shows how far Rugby has to go as an international sport when moving to the Northern Hemisphere means near enough exile and/or retirement from top flight international rugby. Imagine how weak the Brazillian Soccer squad would be if going to the European leagues meant the same thing? Obviously, the reason why the All Blacks keep their players close and their best players closer (usually in a dungeon somewhere below Wellington) is because if you have teams with at least five All Blacks playing with each other day in day out, they get to know each other better and work better together, etc. It wouldn't make sense to them to start letting them play for Tom, Dick or Harry across the globe.
