Welcome home, Webb Ellis Cup.
We watched it all unfold from a bar in the Octagon in the heart of Dunedin. You could have cut the tension with a knife for most of the game. The predictably unpredictable French side played the best rugby they have played in a very long time (after a pretty bof tournament so far) and our boys were battling all sorts of big test nerves and injuries. Poor old Piri was having a kicking shocker (injury?) and child star Aaron Cruden suffered a nasty knee injury in the closing minutes of the first half.
It was an epic battle out there. Definitely not tiddlywinks, mate.
Hats off to Les Bleus for a pretty stellar performance but the night belonged to Black. All Black.
And after the year we've had; this year of earthquakes, shipwrecks, and tsunamis; it's awesome to have something to celebrate.
So proud to be a kiwi today.
