Ruined our perfect record of winning every pool game.
Not necessarily; just change it into a "perfect record of winning every pool game played.

We also had the record of winning 15 world cup games in succession and still going , does that end with a draw ?
-
@taniwharugby They use they word "cancel" when referring to the match thus it is deemed to have never taken place. Our 100% winning record continues unabated, as does the streak of 15 wins in a row.
-
Is anyone else worried about to be advised? Good coach, solid set piece, handy enough 10 and some speed out wide. Not a foregone conclusion this match.

We’ve never had Australia in our pool. Quite interesting given that we’ve had everyone else.

Out of interest I checked about Australia and they have never been in the same pool as France.

We will still be the only unbeaten team in pool play, I think?
I can live with that.

I used to suspect they deliberately set us up to meet the aussies in semis back in the day when they were probably our toughest opponent .
Probably not, but it did seem that way to a paranoid Allblacks supporter.

I think the typhoon is trying to tell WR that we’ve been landed with borefest Italy too many times already.

...Samoa? Fiji?

We had Fiji in 1987 in Christchurch. But it is kind of crazy that those two have been at every RWC since and we have never drawn either, while having Tonga in 99, 03, 11 & 15 and a standing appointment with Italy too!
I don't think we have ever been able to draw Australia. They've always been a top 4 seed at the time of the draw since 03. And in the early years were either gerrymandered away from them where there were multiple hosts (87, 91, 99), and also finished top 4 in 1991 which dictated the 1995 seedings.
-
Just hope the cancellations don't cause any controversy in Pool A.
There's been enough issues with reffing the tackle area without teams bitching about losing a QF place due to a cancelled match

1999 was probably the only possibility, as Aust needed to play qualifiers, but they had 5 pools in that RWC for some reason.
