National MP Judith Collins took to Twitter last night in a bid to stop herself “shouting advice to the TV” in the wake of the All Blacks’ semi-final defeat in Yokohama against England.
Instead, she took aim at former National MP Steven Joyce’s tweet.
“Looks like winning three World Cups in a row is much more difficult than many people thought,” Mr Joyce said.
“Never happened when we were in Govt,” Ms Collins replied.
In fact, the All Blacks lost the 1991, 1995 and 1999 World Cups under a National government. They won in 2011 and 2015 under National.
Meanwhile, the All Blacks won the first Rugby World Cup in 1987 under a Labour government but lost in 2003 and 2007.
“Possibly not the time Judith,” Mr Joyce continued.

The 19-7 defeat leaves the All Blacks battling against either Wales or South Africa for third place on Friday.
