First topic message reminder :

Since 1905/6 the two best sides in the World were SA and NZ,until the
1930`s.When the NZ Scrum was outlawed and until they were given
the secrets of the Bok Scrum courtesy of Danie Craven.[In 1949]
After that NZ caught up and gradually overtook the Boks.
SA sadly has always been bedevilled by politics it still is.
BUT all dynasties end in the 1970`s World Rugby was
briefly dominated by Wales,France,the Lions.
I read with interest the Media comments Steve Hansen was
rubbished for his Wales period.
BUT he understood team building was more important than
short time match results.
Others thought differently BUT his spadework lead to 3 GRANDSLAMS
in 5years.
After 2011 Stuart Lancaster was given the job of rebuilding Englands
fortunes.He built a side that equalled SCWS results v NH sides 4
losses in 4 years.
6Ns were for 4 years decided on points difference effectively a shared
result.
As a Parallel Scotland in 1920`s won or shared the Home Nations titles
nearl y every year.
Predictably after the RWC result he was dumped,EJ with basicly his
team is on a roll.The Media love it BUT there is little between England
Wales,and Ireland.
NZ are being accussed of boring turgid Rugby because they score 6
or 8 tries.The teams concerned weren't trying.
NOT that you`d know it if you read the Telegraph or Independent no
coverage at all.
SA,Argentina,and Australia are all improving when teams like England
and NZ start losing,and they will.
The Media will be looking for scapegoats,your only as good as your
last game.
