I'm not sure if it's well known in ameritardia, but there are actually two variants of rugby. The East island dominates in one, but kind of sucks at the other one. The one they dominate is the most well known one around the world, but for some reason us on the mainland prefer the other one (personally I prefer the one the east island is good at, but I'm in the minority
).

eta: despite having a 4:1 population advantage, Australia has a 2:1 player pool disadvantage

lolz. even USA apparently has more registered players than 'straya c*nt.
Although weirdly (?), when it comes to adult males, Australia has more than NZ... so I guess NZ has a much bigger junior pool and generally the better ones play into adulthood.
