The All Blacks aka New Zealand have bene the best rugby tema in the world for the past 16 years, but they hadn’t won a World Cup in 24 years and in today’s final it almost turned all black for them again. From a superiority on the field in the first half (and a 5-0 lead) the game turned in France’s favour in the second half. New Zealand were leading 8-0 after a penalty kick, but France scored a try and conversion to bring the score back to 8-7. For the final 30 minutes France had the All Black’s with their backs against the try line but could not force a way through. In the end New Zealand hung on to take home the Webb Ellis Cup in front of the home crowd.
