They are playing well. Absolute textbook stuff. But to me they big test will be once they get out of the pool games. New Zealand always do well in the pool games where usually there's only 1 strong oponent in the group and then when it comes to playing rugby against quality opposition they always seem to go in with an air of confidence and wind up coming out of one of the finals as a loser.Quote:

Union has existed for over 100 years, League for only 20 or so. Union IS rugby, League is a poor offshoot.Quote:

I don't want to cause a heated debate about League and Union, so just ignore my comments.
