Definitely the most fitting final.

One country produced the winner of SR while the other won the RC.

Who’ll take the biggest prize of them all?

It will all be revealed in about 9 hours’ time.

All the best to both teams.

Lets get ready to………………………………..RUMMMMMMMBLE.

Gentlemen this should be a cracker.

BB glad to see you have some drinkies in. I got a feeling we’ll all need something for stress relief, celebration or for some us, to kill the pain.

@ Te Rangatira:

Haven’t Micheal Chieka and Shag been entertaining this week.
They both have a wonderful sense of humour and seem confident and eager to get this thing done.
But only one will be smiling come 6.50am NZ time tomorrow morning.

Lets hope its Shag.
I’m not as confident as you, but I think NZ have a 60% chance of success. Lots can go wrong…………………………………………..Wayne Barnes holding his little flag out for example.

Good luck to both teams..it certainly is a dream final as the 2 best teams who also play the best style of rugby will contest it.

Will the ageless Richie be up to handle Pocock and Hooper at the breakdowns? Will the Aussie scrum stand up against the Kiwis?

Good luck to the referee too..lets hope the game is free of controversies.

Go Australia!

Off to a Halloween party after the rugger; depending on the result I may just swop the bike for some witch’s broomstick to arrive on…

Go All Blacks. My suuport will always be behind you when Boks/South Africa are nnot there. ABs deserve this win and to be champs as they have been the best team in years and years. Just wish it was a Bok/AB final. Thats my dream final. Oz are lucky to be here as they should have lost to Scotland had Joubert not made a huge error in giving Oz that final penalty. So good luck All Blacks and their supporters here go knock the hell out of Oz. Expecting a great final and great rugby to watch from the number one and two in the world.

GO ABs. Be the first to win back to back WCs
