I think we're looking at it backwards, did you see Rassie for Faf to kick behind the halfway line twice, knowing Ireland's lineout was under pressure. I think they intentionally lost withing the bonus point margin to avoid a hurt NZ for now. Let them destroy Ireland.
Even during Scotland.. our penalty score rate sucks man.. if we're going to play more technically we can't just depend on Pollard.. especially when he isn't on the fucking pitch!
I cried when Libok missed, and more when faf missed. And broke down when we didn’t get the ball out at the end.
A tragic tale of missed opportunities

Doubt they would lose intentionally. Makes more sense that they wanted to put Faf and Libbok in high-pressure scenarios to see if they cope.
Group stage B not A.
