All of the top teams can beat more or less any other on their day but for me there's still a significant gap between the southern and northern hemispheres when it comes to consistency over a period of time and in big competitions.

It'll be interesting to see how our home teams compete against the likes of NZ, SA and Australia the next time they play.

Well done NZ and roll on 2016......

2015 even..
