yes but how many blokes did the Irish team have, two teams against one is not fair, perhaps if the New Zealand team joined forces with the Australian team it would be equal & fair :thumbs:

Since the introduction of the World Rugby Rankings in 2003, New Zealand has held the number one ranking longer than all other teams combined. The All Blacks are statistically the best side to have played the game, and jointly hold the record for the most consecutive test match wins for a tier one ranked nation.

Dilution by Australian players would not be to All Blacks advantage... :whistle:

Some time ago, it was said, by a New Zealander, that the then trend for emigration from New Zealand to Australia by under 25's raised the average IQ of both countries.
