Beaudy can bog off for all I care. Plenty of options there.
NO options to replace BBBR. Would leave a massive hole. NZRFU need to throw $$ at him. Worth more than all the Barrett's put together.
That's a joke, isn't it? We've one good option to take over the 10 jersey in Mo'unga; a good SR level and average test level 10 in Dmac. Behind that, it's either players who are promising, but with no or little SR experience (e.g., Cameron (who should never have been capped); Black (21 SR caps, but very few starts & minutes); Falcon; Plummer; Josh Ioane); or players who have had SR experience but have in no way proven to be ready for the step up to test level (Perofeta; Hunt; and even less, Gatland and F Smith).

The Boks probably have the most players in overseas leagues, the PI the most percentage of players, but man how many NZ pro/semi pro coaches are around the world? Really I think coaching is NZs biggest advantage, and because there are so few slots available here we are spreading our power (see Lions, Ireland). What are coaches salaries like, in Top 14 etc, compared to players?

@machpants not sure on those leagues, but it I had heard from a reliable source an Assistant Coach gig in the Japanese League was worth a couple hundred K a year, plus house and a car....

@derm-mccrum Only 5 NZers in Italy? That doesn't seem correct.
Awesome graph spam though!

I only looked at players who were born in each country. Where they grew up, moved to, who their parents are is not taken account of. Just raw numbers on where a player was born. I looked at wiki pages for each club, union and club websites. And it's professional teams only - so only two in Italy.

And just so the NH doesn't feel left out.

@derm-mccrum 6 by my count, but still low.
Treviso - Budd, Hayward, Faiva, Manu
Zebre - Renton, Tuivaiti -

@derm-mccrum I never realised there were so many Kiwis, relative to SA. So many Fijians too.
It will be interesting to see what happens in UK post BREXIT, SA and PI players will no longer count as European Associated, it won't exist as a category maybe, so PR will have to change it's rules about number of non-UK players I guess

Interesting stuff - well done!
So the French basically can field 22 XVs of SH players!
They've fucked themselves and are slowly taking the rest of us with them!
