Rugby World Cup Final

THE FINAL MATCH FOR THE WEBB ELLIS CUP
Well, since I last posted, the remaining Pool play has occurred and the tournament progressed to the knockout stages. Last weekend had the Semi-Finals.

• Semifinal #1 was New Zealand vs Australia - won by New Zealand
• Semifinal #2 was France vs Wales - won by France after Wales captain was ejected from the match for a dangerous tackle and wales played the final 60 minutes shorthanded by 1 player. Wales still had a chance to win the game on the final play.

So this weekend is the final Weekend. Friday evening Australia and Wales played for the Bronze Medal. Australia edged Wales by 3 points and won the Bronze.

Tonight the Gold and Silver will be decided when New Zealand plays France. NZ beat France in pool play, but the last 2 times these teams have met in an elimination game, France has won. Should be an entertaining game. NBC here in the USA will be televising the match on Sunday at noon Pacific time (3pm Eastern).

Who do you think will win? To get you ready, I took some more video from my trip and made a preview to set the mood. Enjoy!
