Opals vs USA, France and Canada
"We won't be 2nd ranked for much longer..
I think we will drop to fifth or sixth in the next few years.
USA, Spain, Canada, France, Russia all have excellent teams coming through."
I agree, but replace France with Serbia. France has been on the decline as Dumerc and Gruda age and they don't have the same youth movement as Canada and Russia.
