As expected, New Zealand won the Rugby World Cup. They were coasting throughout the first half but had a bit of a scare in the second when Australia staged a fightback. They got to within four points of New Zealand when finally Dan Carter decided its too close for comfort. He produced an all important drop goal that sliced the post, calming the nerves of his colleagues. From there on, it was smooth driving till the end. What great night for the All Blacks. The dominant team for so long, finally showing the world they can do it at the highest level. There have been doubts about their mental strength after repeated failures when it matters but for now, its all in the back burner.
