Did I mention I was at the game!? Wooohoooo!!!
I hope to hell the NZFC can sort out the next step after the WC - it's always an uphill battle with rugby being the dominant sport.
The other struggle is the total lack of competition as a result of being part of Oceania - we play Fiji, Noumea, New Caledonia - they playoff against the 5th finisher in Asia. We only play about 6 games to qualify - then will most likely get spanked in SA.
We need to be part of one of the Asian confederations, to get regular game time and more experience for our players at the international level.
