I find it astounding that the Australian sports person and general public seem to get hyped everytime they come up against any Kiwi sports team/person.
Why does the average aussie do that?
When you make a comparison to population and size australia you far outweigh the kiwi's. Please someone enlighten me why Australia feels the need to compete in most levels of sports to a country that's not even 1/2 the population and size of oz.
Hmmmm...methinks it's beause at the end of the day kiwis are superior sports people. And forever we remain sooooo

The aussies and kiwis are hyped up as you put it equally with sporting contests against each other. This is likely due to all other nations in most of the international sports we play being no where near our lands down under. So with this we have a healthy competitive rivalry with the only neighbour we have to compete against in most leading international sports. Such as cricket, union, league, soccer, basket ball and so on. I'm an AFL club fan/member, where to a smaller scale the same rivalry occurs in games between close by neighbours eg. Westcoast/Dockers & Crows/Port, where I gather the same exists between certain league &/or union teams in their competitions. In the end thats great rivalry that both OZ & NZ enjoy on the field & supporters alike, but we will always stick up for each other in times of need & thats a fact.
