International Coach
ok, I kinda suspect this thread might be a little dire and has surely been done before, but nevertheless I wanted to raise the issue again, because it intrigues me
NZ are often regarded by overseas fans as a relatively untalented group of players who punch above their weight. In recent times, they have occasionally been elevated to the status of "a competitive side who are generally of a similar standard to other teams apart from Australia, and sometimes South Africa/England". In other words, we are a middle of the table side with similar talent levels to other international teams.
Believe it or not, NZers often regard our team as UNDERACHIEVERS, who regularly perform below potential and should do better.
I'm intrigued- how do you all see it?
