It's a shame and a tragedy the standards of the dominant
Southern hemisphere sides are so far ahead of the Northern
hemisphere ones.
Looking at some of the nonsense that has been served up by the
Northern sides (England and Ireland have been absolutely dreadful),
you've got to wonder if a SANZAR Tri-Nations actually makes a
better representation for rugby union as a whole than the WC.
That said, I think Dan Carter will prove the difference should the
AB's take on Australia or South Africa - as evident in today's
Aus-Wales clash, the Wallabies have hardly got a decent
flyhalf/center (or anyone for that matter) whose
penalty/conversions success rate is anywhere near decent for a top
side (Mortlock is alright, but Giteau is nothing more than a
clown).
