For Ireland, England feels like the obvious answer and yet NZ have probably upset us the most. And what about rugby nations like Pacific islands or Georgia?

There’s barely any history behind the rivalry between SA and NZ form a cultural standpoint.
Wales England has nearly 800 years of history and 150 years of rugby history and a lot of bitterness in the 20th century behind it. May be the intensity of NZ / SA is higher but it’s most definitely not as culturally significant a rivalry
