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.

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.
