    First time NZ have not topped their group - or have I boobooed?

    Has any team ever been unbeaten in their pool and still finished second in it?

          Has anyone seen Schmidt and Foster speak to, or even look at, each other? In the coaches box Foster always turns left for comment, with Ryan.
          It is almost as if Schmidt has had enough of being subordinate to a weak fool.
          Can’t wait for the memoir.

                      Can do it twice if we beat SA/France in the final, if it goes that way

                          @gt12 No Ireland were ranked Number 1 going into the 2019 tournament but lost that when they lost to Japan in pool play. NZ were ranked number 1 in the world going into that QF.

                                slimmer than all of them? Or do you think Ryan has eaten Joe Schmidt?
