For decades the Jacques of the world, the Pierres, Jans and Pistons have been the strongest dudes in the rugby firmament. But watching Oz today and obviously the ABs, the influx of massive men from the Pacific threatens to tilt that reality. partially Pacifiic Pomerania were pounded and France with all it's colonies was also easily flogged.
The RC looks to be a huge clash this year with all the Southern giants on the up. How real is Oz...it should be a lot of fun now that the amuse- bouche of NH matches is coming to an end.
