MELBOURNE (Reuters) - The Australian teams' continuing struggles against their New Zealand counterparts in Super Rugby is fuelling an inferiority complex that is ultimately self-perpetuating, former Wallabies flyhalf Rod Kafer has said. Australia's five Super Rugby teams have yet to beat a New Zealand opponent in 11 matches over the six weeks of the current season and managed only three wins last year. "You get the sense that our decline in performance, particularly against New Zealand sides, has unfortunately been consistent over the past three years. The gap is mirrored at international level, with Australia managing only a single win over the All Blacks in 16 matches dating back to 2011. "Our performances against New Zealand teams have declined over a period of time, I'd say the past three years," he said.
