England 27 South Africa 26
Wales 29 Australia 28
France 40 New Zealand 25

A great pub quiz question here, and a unique event perhaps:

Have the big 3 southern hemisphere teams ever all been beaten on the same day before today?

I don't recall it.

NZ have only lost 36 times (excluding to Australia and South Africa). It shouldn't take long to confirm it should you choose to check.

Someone has already checked for me...!

The France victory, along with England’s win over South Africa and Wales’ victory over Australia, saw the three major southern hemisphere nations beaten by northern hemisphere rivals on the same day for the first time since 2002.

It's not clear if that was the first time but ...

England 31 - 28 New Zealand
Ireland 18 - 9 Australia
France 30 - 10 South Africa
