I'm a little late to the party, still feeling a little depressed and it is going to take a while to recover from weeks of late nights/early morning watching rugby.
It was a great effort by the All Blacks, if they play like that there is not a team in the world that will beat them (I would like to seem them play a World XV though!). It was also exciting to see 5 tries in the final which is more than the last 3 finals combined.
The Wallabies played as well as expected and if not for the missed forward pass and Giteau concussion the game would have been closer. It was also another great game by Pocock, unfortunately the All Blacks were successful in keeping play away from him and exploiting the weaker Wallabies. The biggest difference though was Dan Carter playing like the best fly half of all time while Foley was just serviceable.
I am starting to get Rugby withdrawal but thankfully it is less than three months until the 2016 Super Rugby season starts. I'm definitely planning on being at the Sydney Football Stadium on Feb 27th for the Waratahs vs the Reds.
