I give up. Fine. Trot out the "but the weather" excuse as a reason not to try to play rugby, despite the country with the highest skill level having at least as bad weather.

You're being disingenuous. No one has said weather is the only factor involved, just that it is a factor.

Fair play to NZ for putting a premium on skills based rugby. They play pro club rugby against Aus and SA teams who do play in warm dry weather, and as such it would be expected that skills would be high. I'm old enough to remember when NZ rugby was pretty much 10 man rugby, with just the odd burst of back play. That was back before they started playing club rugby against Aus and SA teams on warm dry pitches.

Rugby in Scotland could do with lots of input, not least of which is some warmer drier weather.
