Who is the Real Madrid of Rugby?

As a rugby enthusiast, I've always wondered who the Real Madrid of rugby could be. After some research and comparison, I believe the answer is the New Zealand national rugby team, also known as the All Blacks. They have consistently dominated the rugby world stage, winning multiple championships and setting numerous records. Their iconic black jerseys and the traditional Haka dance before matches further solidify their legendary status in the sport. So, in my opinion, the All Blacks truly represent the Real Madrid of rugby.
