However there is no reason why the English club setup should not be capable of matching New Zealand. Football is a huge distraction but money is attracting athletic players into the game. I can't accept that the standards won't improve unless we play the SH sides more often ...we play them too often as it is in my opinion. Australia managed to compete with NZ before the introduction of the Super franchises.
I do fear for Wales and Scotland though, the Pro 12 sides just aren't very good. The crowds are very low and the money must be thin on the ground. I can't see how the European competitions / leagues can increase in size / scope with so little cash within the Celtic nations. I'm pretty sure that the English / French organisations are not going to be particularly benevolent towards us "for the greater good of the game" - we've seen their recent actions with respect to attitudes on financial control / distribution of revenues. It does concern me as to what the future holds.

Best story about the big man: Travelling to work on the tube one day there were some yobs giving a woman a bit of grief. As the doors opened at the next station Norm put his newspaper down, got up, grabbed one in each hand and chucked them out of the carriage. As the applause rang out he just sat back down and picked up his newspaper.
RIP Big Norm.
