<p>Totally irrelevant and minor point, but did Cane get on? I don't recall seeing him?</p>

Moore paid due credit to the ABs. So did Cheika, though you could see he was gutted. Both agreed that there were no excuses, even with the injuries.<br><br>
Liked Hansen's speech, where he also gave the Wallabies credit. The joy on DC's face was cool and deserved. <br><br>
A Bridge Too Far comes to mind. You can't claw back a 21-3 lead even with a man advantage.

I hope someone can put together a video with McCaw comparing that press conference in 2007 with 2011 and 2015. That there is farking redemption and then some.

True. This time around the two best teams in the world were in the final and it was a hell of a game .

Commiserations Wallaby fans. Some amazing results through the tournament but today it wasn't to be.<br><br>
Really proud of the All Blacks. Pretty emotional sitting here In the dark have a beer watching this.

The all blacks are the first team to deserve to.

<p>Yes definitely, I'd like to have seen him run the water on in a 3 piece suit. </p>

There was an article by a statistician about how rare it is to come back and win from various deficits, and 10+ is apparently very rare - the games often get close, but then draw away again late, as this game did.<br><br>
Champion effort from the Wallabies either way - they kept pushing all the way.
