Our winning percentage against top-tier nations must be pretty appalling.

Is there a world where we don’t qualify from this pool? Italy are not as shit as people think

[Chris]

@Yeahtheboys
I agree on the last Northern tour we struggled to put them away,
Beating Italy maybe not a given.

Last time we played Italy 2021 we won 47-9.

I agree beating Italy is not a given but we didn't struggle to put them away. We struggled to put Japan away last year.

@KiwiMurph

I actually thought the score was closer,
We took a while to put them away didn’t we ?.

First AB team to lose a game against France at a RWC while wearing black and France wearing alternative strip? is that a thing?

Fuck me that is some list of achievements. I wonder what his KPIs are. I guess he never lost the Bledisloe and we did win TRC.

First coach to lower the expectations of the ABs for a good clump of Kiwi's.

Yep, can't be too often that expectations are slightly higher for the Warriors than for the All Blacks...

Your All Blacks expectations are better than that?

I am not stressed or nervous about this World Cup in the slightest. First time ever.

@Victor-Meldrew is that like being 100m world record holder but never winning a gold medal at world champs or olympics?

[Steven Harris]

@Machpants and this is the horse the players backed
Could be a very quick exit
