[QUOTE="tenpm, post: 525451, member: 61231"] A bit of both, I think. Some of it of course is probably psychological - not being used to playing at this intensity, etc - but the age of players might be a factor as well. Argentina's players are slightly older than other countries', though New Zealand's team has just as much, if not more, "old" players, even if we don't count Carter. Stats for players' age for each team, in round 4: Number of players in their 30s: out of the first 15 AUS [B]2[/B] ARG [B]5[/B] NZL [B]5[/B] RSA [B]1[/B] out of the 22 AUS [B]3[/B] ARG [B]5[/B] NZL [B]6[/B] RSA [B]2[/B] Average age of the first 15 AUS [B]26.3[/B] ARG [B]28.9[/B] NZL [B]27.3[/B] RSA [B]27.3[/B] of the 22 AUS [B]25.8[/B] ARG [B]28.3[/B] NZL [B]26.7[/B] RSA [B]26.3[/B] Median age of the first 15 AUS [B]26[/B] ARG [B]28[/B] NZL [B]27[/B] RSA [B]27[/B] of the 22 AUS [B]26[/B] ARG [B]28[/B] NZL [B]26[/B] RSA [B]27[/B] [/QUOTE]
