Congratulations to the New Zealand All Blacks, winners of the 2011 Rugby World Cup, beating France 8-7 in the final tonight.
It was a fitting result, given New Zealand’s dominance in rugby for years. Tonight’s win breaks a 24 year drought for them in world cups, having missed out several times previously when they were hot favourites.
Well done France too, for making a game of what many expected to be a one-sided game. They had scratched around in their previous games, scraping into the finals, but did perform superbly tonight when it counted.
