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

For example ...

First AB coach to lose a pool game and get to the semis.

First AB coach to lose a pool game and beat the world's no. 1 team in the knock-out stage

More importantly, first AB head coach to look slimmer than the other coaches...

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

I believe Hanson did that in 2019?

Link here.

@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.

First abs coach to have his team not ranked 1 in the quarters, too

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

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

First All Black coach to take a team to a World Cup final in France.

Fuck this thread.

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.

Who’s criticising Ryan?

Let me have my fat joke.

@Kirwan 14 weeks into marathon training I’m not fat for first time in 3 years so I will critique as I see fit ….

First AB coach who looks shit in a shirt and tie

@Victor-Meldrew first AB coach to be named after a muppet, not just called a muppet
