[QUOTE="Boggle, post: 325948, member: 13621"] Just to be clear, I wasn't using genetics as the primary factor for the SH being brilliant at Rugby. As obviously the North can produce some monsters, but it was a contributing factor surely. plain old fashion skill and rugby smarts are obviously going to be the main reason (as I think a culture of winning is also a contributing factor more than anything really). For instance, I believe the Australians are probably the smartest rugby players on earth, they seem to be able to analyze a situation on the fly, react and adapt to it instantly, this being why they are such brilliant runners and breakers of the line, also tactics wise they always seem to be brilliant at creating strategies for dealing with certain opponents. based on pure class of players though because of the magnificent Academy and school systems we've got I believe SA and NZ are ahead of the rest, and along the other contributing factors that I was talking about, we then produce the worlds 2 best rugby teams.
