That is a pretty amazing statistic and probably a first for RWC

'cept last time I looked Japan was in the northern hemisphere
I think people are getting a little too wrapped up in a dick measuring contest over a line on a map. Are we missing the Super Rugby banter and parochialism that much?

I have been as frustrated as any Wallabies supporter over the last 10 years or so, but from what I have seen in just this year alone, with a RC win, 1 game from a Bled series win and at the very least, a semi-final finish at the RWC, I have to say that I think the "Wobblies" moniker should now be retired for a while.
The #2 team in the world have earned my respect this year and made me eat my words, no doubt.

On that note.

Perhaps we should deal in eastern and Western Hemispheres too?
Have to think that the make up of the semi finals makes the perennial Seth African threat to play with Europe look a little hollow:sure they might win every 6 nations but where would they be each RWC?

Come on Hugh Jarse there has always been traditional Southern Hemisphere versus Northern Hemisphere rivalry.....nothing exactly new....and been there in discussions on every rugby world cup since RWC started....

And if truth be known given lived in UK for a bit - so my second and third teams I follow are Wales and England.......so I actually personally would have liked in particular Wales to win against SA.....

If the Wobs take it up early against the Argies - it may result in a contest of attrition, and a blunt force trauma approach considering the weather may benefit the most accurate boot.
I would suggest as another option the opposite, absorb the early onslaught with defense and overwhelm as they tire and punish them as errors increase.. their running rugby only lasted 1 half and a better Irish would have put them away.
It relies on the tried and tested approach seen throughout the TRC of bench play which could account for the Argy new enterprising play with the superior productivity of the reserves. Although, this is tempered by a significantly lower error margin and addressing the sudden onset of hesitancy that arrested the killer touch needed against the Scots. Either way, Wobs cant afford or carry a wayward Foley.
We hate The Darkness, The Meat Eaters, and The Lazer Pointerers with a passion until RWC, when suddenly they are our best mates (even more so when we are all dealing to "others") and "we" all subscribe to this magical brand of rugby called SANZAAR that makes us all superhuman and infinitely superior to the boring old farts "Up North".
Remember the discussions about the boring Jakeball that the Saffers play, or the McCheat Invisibility Cloak tactics of The Darkness, and how about those pansy prima donna actors diving all over the place like fainting goats in the Blue and white strip?

Sounds like you have experience running elections.

Japan can be proud to have been the only NH team to beat a RC team. Did better than all 6 nations teams.
And the hosts were the worst of all.
