<p>Nick is cured, so I believe the flagstick would simply be in a safe and experienced pair of hands - as long as he doesn't have to parade anywhere near the Brazilian beach volleyball team. :)</p> -

<p>Burling/Tuke named flagbearers. Do they take turns during the ceremony, or is it going to be like an extended version of the awkward RWC2011 final three-way handshake?</p>
<p>EDIT: I see they're co-captains but Burling will carry the flag. Well, that's not as exciting.</p>

<p>The Evers-Swindell twins were the flagbearers for the closing ceremony in 2008. That must have worked somehow. </p> -

<p>Yeah, although the closing ceremony is a free-for-all. Kinda like a Chiefs' Mad Monday compared to the Te Awamutu Lions Club AGM. </p> -
