[QUOTE="mimic, post: 111898"] They could improve. The gap wasn't as large before the game went professional. Samoa has shown they can shock good rugby teams. With them included, it could build them to do that on a consistent basis. Look at Italy, a team who would get spanked down here, they've shown great improvement. Samoa and Fiji could do even better with all the talent we see in NZ. The IRB rankings also show this. Samoa and Fiji round off the top 12 nations. 6 from North, and 6 from the South. Or is NZ scared they'd lose the island talent to their respective countries? [/QUOTE]
