Nah, a drawn game? Can recall Scotland & France drawing in 1987, but no others spring to mind.
That will all change at the end of this year and then we all know that there will be only one country left with that record (only one World Cup ever like in soccer) for ever ....New Zealand winning it.

speirz has it. The Micks have never made it past the quarters.
Now that you mention it, I suspect they will make the Semis this time. If it works out like 2 Northern and 2 southern Hemisphere Teams as it always tends to, I bet it will be Ireland and France from the North and NZ + SA (although Wallabies an outside chance of tipping the Yarpies) from the South , IMHO.
