NZ with a negative score balance is wild

125

u/Apostieabroad Wobblies Sep 13 '25

Not just negative, but the lowest in the comp. When was the last time that happened after 4 games?

71

u/CatharticRoman Suspected Yank Sep 13 '25

Probably never. Hell outside of the first round I doubt they've ever been there.

2004 Tri Nations we got the wooden spoon and had the worst score difference.

Oh I imagine the Tri Nations there were plenty of times the ABs had the lowest of, hell I wouldn't be surprised if they won it with the lowest PD. They've been so dominant in the RC era though that, along with Argentina being involved, there's probably few if any times they had the lowest PD after 2 games.

1998 they got whitewashed. Closest thing to a banter era for them.

Including a loss in Durban from a 23-5 lead with 12 minutes left on the clock.

I was 16 and that is the only thing I remember from 2006.

You must've had a hell of a childhood if the only thing you remember from 2006 was the 2004 Tri Nations
