    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?

    No but teams have lost a game and still finished top

                  @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.

                          With a week to go, could he do the first AB coaching equivalent of a 2011 Stephen Donald?

                              It’s a different world now and we could have been better over the years but we’re in the WC final.

                              Leave the fat bastard alone.
