Welsh rugby genetics

Welsh rugby genetics     While welsh rugby may not be in the spot light as much of the likes as new Zealand or the pacific islands it is still a team that I myself grew up watching in Swansea and still enjoy watching and my player issue jersey is one of my most prized jerseys. Rugby originates from wales all the way back when a small school boy bored of playing football picked up the ball and his school mates chased him and tackled him to get the ball back. So one reason why some people say that the welsh are a team to be reckoned with is because they have had the most time to learn the sport and to train in it.

New Zealand rugby genes and how they succeed. The nation of New Zealand is a small one with a small population and a GPD so how then can it be the most successful rugby nation in the world. What drives them to succeed ? One big reason that they succeed over all else is that they are absolutely rugby mad . Rugby much lower than national level is followed by the majority of the population and they also have entire TV stations dedicated to rugby union. There is a huge positive rugby culture encouraged by the majority of the population so not playing rugby would seem strange in New Zealand. As well as the positive rugby culture there is also an economic advantage of playing rugby in New Zealand. The rewards are higher for playing rugby than for other sports and somewhat easier because of the wide range of positions in rugby athletes of all shapes and sizes can find a place for them on the pitch. So in short players in New Ze...
