Limited talent, no problem!

Limited resources no matter, a not so productive domestic set-up, no problem, New Zealand have always been known to punch above their weight in all tournaments.

The Kiwis have always been viewed as the proverbial underdogs and this tag has only buoyed them to perform better, exceeding all expectations. The fact that they have a very limited talent resource, is also what makes them an even more attractive prospect.

For many, it is their free flowing demeanour and for others, it is the way they utilise their limited resources to their maximum. New Zealand will carry the tag of being the underdogs who give the other fancied teams a good run for their money.
