When you consider the number of teams involved we were 11th out of over 200 nations, now we are half as good at 22nd out of over 200 nations.

Well that’s the bright way looking at it - way to go yet, need 10 plus in top leagues the way I see it minimum ! That’s if we’re gonna contest WC to Qrtr’s for eg….
