[QUOTE="abes58, post: 24508"] The world cup (hard) had come down to this... 3 teams vying for Old Bill. France sitting the shadows awaiting the victor of the cross Tasman battle. The Wallabies had been arrogant in their play throughout the whole tournament while the All Blacks had been scraping out scrappy wins with committed play and teamwork that would make any coach proud. On halftime the Wallabies were clinging to a 10-3 win thanks in part to a questionable penalty and many missed offside calls by the referee. The second half was another battle of wills. The packs looked like two giant beasts colliding with neither side giving an inch. In the 72nd minute Marshall took a quick ball at the 10m line from a ruck and flung the ball to Mehrtens (he had long since replaced Spencer as the stand off). Mehrtens launched a booming kick into the Wallabies' end. Larkham picked up 10m short of the 22m line but before he could kick to safety Howlett crushed him with a spot on blow to the chest. Larkham lost the ball forward. SCRUM TO THE ALL BLACKS. Marshall puts in, hooked by Oliver while at once the pack surged as one. The ball taken down to the 5 m line. Marshall throws to Mehrtens who puts a Garry Owen high into the corner. Mauger, playing full back, did a full on run from the 22m, leaped over Sailor and grabbed the ball touching it down. TRY Mehrtens for the conversion... a terrible angle. It hits the post! 10-8. 78th minute. the restart is kicked to the forwards. A maul ensues which gains 10 m. flung to the backs. A dummy by Nonu (on as a replacement for Carter) sends him into space, back inside to McCaw. Tackled at the 22. Mehrtens moves into the pocket. A moment of calm then the ball to Mehrtens... the droppy is up... AND GOOD!!!! on fulltime the ALLBLACKS win! The final was a non event... New Zealand gains redemption for their previous loss to France in the semis. A thrashing with a score line not worth repeating. New Zealand win the World Cup!!! [/QUOTE]
