actually I think you will find that its because NZ just doesnt have the talent pool of other larger countries- up until now the only country apart from us that has been heavily sport oriented with academies etc is aussie, and lets face, it, they are pretty damn good at sports. now lots of other countries (i.e. europe and England) are doing the same thing. Was a big artice in the New Scientist a few months back about it- I think NZ is on the slippery slope to the bottom rungs to keep the welsh company.
