Answer 2

Im not sure why but they have a strong base - group of players and a good natural environment for training...... although with the amount of coaches they employ every other day there days are numbered!

Answer 3

Really strong and they don't try and be all fancy pants like some teams, they'll do whatever it takes to win and they don't care if its not pretty. Even more importantly, like England, they have the mental strength to win. Thats something NZ lack.
