“The national rugby team of New Zealand is, by any reasonable accounting, the world’s preeminent sports dynasty. Since 1903, the All Blacks have won or drawn 80 percent of their international test matches despite New Zealand having a population of 4.4 million in 2013, which makes it roughly the size of Greater Detroit. Its chief rivals— the national teams of England, France, Australia, and South Africa— come from nations that have populations up to fifteen times larger.” taken from The Captain Club by Sam Walker.
