The scoreline is emphatic: 9-1 and counting.
When it comes to Rugby World Cups, nine of the 10 have been lifted by southern hemisphere hands.
Only Jonny Wilkinson's extra-time drop-goal for England in the 2003 final stands between the south and a clean sweep of global glory.
So, a new Test competition pitting one half of the globe against the other will be long-haul, but intrigue-short. Won't it?
Perhaps not.
