[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 466918, member: 13739"] I don't understand what this thread is about. NZ have the best rugby structure in the world which brings through a steady stream of top players. Why would they want to change this and start importing players into their domestic leagues? The only reason to import a player should be because there isn't a NZ qualified player of equal ability or a youngster with big potential. Comparing NZ to France or England is just stupid. England and France rely on a large number of foreign players to sustain the large number of teams in their top flight domestic competitions. NZ don't, it's as simple as that. If Wales or Ireland had enough quality players, then we to wouldn't have foreign players in our regions/provinces, however it's a needs must at the moment. The plan in Wales is still to reduce the number of foreign players as much as possible, cramming the regions with Welsh players, giving our national team the best opportunity of success. This is what NZ does, and it's working, because they are the best rugby nation on earth. [/QUOTE]
