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

Fair comment Bryan. I think we Kiwi's frequently punch above our weight and let's remember that we are only a quarter of the size in population of Australia and have much more limited financial resources. When you look at how many medals we get at the Olympics and compare it to per capita we do very well. We also have a reputation as being a competitive sporting nation and I've lived in the UK and they know us for our rugby and to a lesser extent cricketing prowess.
