[QUOTE="Goodey, post: 976466, member: 69270"] I think so, depending on the definition of 'own domain'. NZ in 1987 - beat Argentina and Fiji in the group stages, then only European sides in the knockouts. This was long before the RC was a thing, so it kinda counts? Similarly in 2007. South Africa didn't have to play Aus or NZ, in the middle of the tri nations years, but they did have to beat Argentina (and England twice). In 1999 Australia's route was Romania-Ireland-USA-Wales-SA-France. So it's possible to only play NH teams, as they would have done if South Africa hadn't beaten England in the quarter. [/QUOTE]
