"We feel we are near the top of our group, but to stay there we have to work very hard." The Italian Prada syndicate, meanwhile, were left to wonder where all its money had gone. Having beaten off all comers in 1999 to challenge the Kiwis - only to lose 5-0 - they expected the experience to give them the edge in the elimination rounds, which are collectively known as the Louis Vuitton...
