What a day for the year’s premier sporting event.
Perfect conditions at Twickers.
Delighted that tradition has been adhered to and we have an afternoon final. The way it should be.
Liam Toland’s highlight of a dismal World Cup performance - name checking Neville Furlong.

A nation holds it breath …
Barnesy clamped Tolers unmerciifully there over Stephen Moore’s trip.
Crazy decision by NZ to decline three points given how points have historically been at a premium in World Cup finals.
They’ve dominated the opening 20 minutes yet the game is level.
Its a bit flat for a final so far.
Can’t help but think about what might have been. If Paulie hadn’t pulled up in the France match, we could have had the winning of this final.
Kurtley Beale’s time.
If he can help Australia to victory he’ll be allowed a drink tonight.
Shite match so far.
Well if the choking by the one Irish chap on the field is anything to go by, it would have been a fairly embarrassing outcome.
That’s three points New Zealand should not have had. Clear forward pass in the move.
Surprisingly the Officials are missing New Zealand knock ons and forward passes.

Brilliant try. Don’t think there’s been a better one scored in a final.
Just like the build up to the opening try against South Africa last week, a blatant forward pass from a New Zealand player not penalised.

Dan Carter is just a sensational kicker. Every one of them dissecting the posts, either side of the pitch and not even a slight draw on the balls flight. A great send off for him.

That should be it. Red Rover.
Sensational sidestep and running from Nonu. You have to hand it to New Zealand. Consistent excellence.

Stupid yellow to concede if they give it.
That’s a yellow!
