[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 966549, member: 40658"] Seriously? I'm trying to point out other matters that can help the ARU. I'm giving a hypothesis based on the past. I even gave an example as to how the ARU can go about to get the information, which I'm sure isn't that easily available, otherwise everyone would do it. I'm certain SARU and the NZRU won't give you everything they have for their recipe to success at the world cup, as I'm sure it's a well guarded secret. But here are some stats for you: Argentina at the World Cup: Number of tournaments: 9 (1987 - 2019) Number of World Cups won: ZERO Matches played: 41 (up to 11 October 2019) Matches won: 21 (up to 11 October 2019) Where did they finish: 1987: Pool Stage 1991: Pool Stage 1995: Pool Stage 1999: Quarter Final 2003: Pool Stage 2007: Third Place 2011: Quarter Final 2015: Fourth Place 2019: Pool Stage South Africa at the World Cup: Number of tournaments: 7 (1995 - 2019) Number of World Cups won: 2 Matches played: 40* (up to 11 October 2019) Matches won: 33* (up to 11 October 2019) Where did they finish: 1995: Final (Won) 1999: Third Place 2003: Quarter Final 2007: Final (Won) 2011: Quarter Final 2015: Third Place 2019: Quarter final * (so far) New Zealand at the World Cup: Number of tournaments: 9 (1987 - 2019) Number of World Cups won: 3 Matches played: 53 (up to 11 October 2019) Matches won: 47* (up to 11 October 2019) Where did they finish: 1987: Final (Won) 1991: Third Place 1995: Final (Second) 1999: Fourth Place 2003: Third Place 2007: Quarter Final 2011: Final (Won) 2015: Final (Won) 2019: Quarter final * (so far) Now according to these STATS. South Africa has an 82.5% win record New Zealand has an 88.2% win record Argentina has a 51.2% win record Argentina is 30% less effective than NZ and SA. Argentina has never been to a final. Neither NZ nor SA has ever been knocked out in the Pool stages, and have progressed to the knockouts in every tournament they've been in. Argentina has been eliminated in the Pool Stages 5 times. So NZ and SA have a 100% record to qualify for the Playoffs, while Argentina has a 44.4% record to qualify for the Playoffs. But hey, who am I to judge the effectiveness of teams... [/QUOTE]
