It was a difficult choice but I'm taking my grandson to the Millenium to see his first Rugby International match as it's only £30 for the two of us. Like I did,he plays both sports and loves them both, I am hoping for a double International in the family!

Yet hardly comparable to the achievements of New Zealand. Not bad for a country of only 4.5 million
Add in the Pacific islands whom new Zealand poach from you have a population of 7 million twice the size of Wales.
I'm not sure NZ poach as much from the other Pacific islands as is often made out. Remember they have a sizeable amount of Polynesians in their own country to choose from. In any case if you put the total population of Samoa, Tonga and French Polynesia together you barely get more than an extra 500k. Quite comparable to Scotland!
