mAny marketing experts will tell you that if you’re promoting a major global sporting event, not to omit the defending world champions from the advertising.

Late last week, organisers of next year’s Rugby World Cup in England sent out new promo material to email databases pushing the sale date for match tickets at three weeks to go.

Unfortunately, the graphic included a world map which accidentally omitted New Zealand entirely.

Further ignominy was caused when a new TV advertisement for the tournament failed to include any Kiwi players.

If it’s any saving grace, New Zealand wasn’t the only nation missing from the map, with Japan, Ireland and all the Pacific island nations also absent.
