In a rare display of self-criticism Warren Gatland has stated that Kiwis are rarely aware of anything outside their borders and wrongly consider themselves as a world reference.
Is Watland right? I think most will agree (nonetheless Monsieur Rugbycan, I'm sure)
Is he wrong? Many new zealanders won't like Gatland's words. Is he regretful that he has not been given a super franchise coaching position?
But most important of all: Will he take Wales to the 6N title?

On this one I applaud rather than criticize Gatland, the Saviour of Wales.
The Kiwis will never get Gatland's message until they start getting beat regularly.
But I think it's more than that; none of the Southern Hemisphere rugby sides display much humility.
Maybe it is ingrained because they appear to play the better brand of rugby.
Do english show humility? Do french (who are keen to say that they are the only non english- speaking nation in the rugby ellite)?
Yes, New Zealanders may be arrogant, and Gatland is one of the few to say it. But I doubt that defines kiwis but the whole planet.
