#2015RugbyWorldCupFinal Preview

Well, the #AllBlacks Rugby World Cup campaign started with a win over Argentina 26 - 16 with tries scored by Aaron Smith (The Luke Ronchi of rugby) and Sam Cane as well as Daniel Carter (The Daniel Vettori/Shaun Johnson of rugby union) landing both conversions and 4 penalties (Although Captain Richie McCaw (The Brendon McCullum/Simon Mannering of rugby union) and Conrad Smith (The Trent Boult of rugby union) were both sent to the bin for tripping and an illegal turnover respectively).

And after the Argentina win, Sam Cane led the charge against Namibia winning 58 - 14 (The try scorers were Victor Vito, Nehe Milner-Skudder (Who got it twice), Malakai Fekitoa, Beauden Barrett, Julian Savea (The Martin Guptill/Manu Vatuvei of rugby union, who also dotted it down twice), Ben Smith (The Grant Elliott of rugby) & Codie Taylor) before facing Georgia with Waisake Naholo scoring the opening try as well as Savea who got a hat-trick of tries, Dane Coles, Kieran Read (The Kane Williamson of rugby) and Fekitoa were the try scorers (Although Dan Carter got 4 conversions) but the man of the match award went to Mamuka Gorgodze who played well.

And then, the AB's played their final pool game against Tonga over in Newcastle with Ben Smith scoring a try along with Tony Woodcock (His World Cup was over after he injured his hamstring effectively ending his rugby career), Milner-Skudder (Who got a brace), Sonny Bill Williams (The Ross Taylor of rugby), Sam Cane & Ma'a Nonu (The Tim Southee of rugby union) in his 100th test with Dan Carter kicking 6 conversions.

But the All Blacks faced a uphill quarterfinal challenge with France as lock Brodie Retallick (The Corey Anderson of rugby) opened the scoring with a try from a charge-down off Frederic Michalak followed by Nehe Milner-Skudder but he was injured so he was declared fit for the next game, then Savea scoring 3 brilliant, absolutely brilliant tries to earn another hat-trick, then it was Jerome Kaino, then Read and Tawera Kerr-Barlow who got a brace as well as Daniel Carter picked up 7 conversions and a penalty (Not only because that match, was the largest winning margin in a RWC knockout-stage game as well as the 9 tries scored by New Zealand is the most scored by one team in a RWC knockout-stage game).

And then, it is semifinal time (I label that game as Judgment Day) as the AB's took on the Springboks (Who had lost to Japan in an historic upset) were they were comprehensively won 20 - 18 by going through to the World Cup final in an attempt to go back to back with tries scored by both Kaino (Who got yellow carded along with Bryan Habana) and Barrett with Dan Carter landing 2 conversions, 1 single penalty and a drop goal while Handre Pollard- landed 5 penalties compared to Patrick/Pat Lambie's 1.

And so then for the #Wallabies (Led by the Michael Clarke/Cameron Smith of rugby union, Stephen Moore) as their RWC started with a win over Fiji 28 - 13 with tries by the dangerous David Pocock (The Mitchell Starc/Johnathan Thurston of rugby union) who got a brace and loosehead prop Sekope Kepu with Bernard 'Iceman' Foley (The Steve Smith of rugby) landing 2 conversions and 3 penalties.

And after the Fiji win, Dean Mumm led the charge against Uruguay winning 65 - 3 (The try scorers were the young 21 year old flamboyant Sean McMahon (Who dotted it down twice), Joe Tomane, Henry Speight, Ben McCalman (Who also dotted it down twice with Tomane and Drew Mitchell (The Shane Watson of rugby), Matt Toomua and Tevita Kuridrani (Quade Cooper nailed 5 conversions out of 11) before facing the hosts England because they were in all sorts of trouble after losing to Wales so the English needed to win to stay in the hunt but they didn't, losing the game by 20 points (33 - 13 was the score, ensuring/meaning that England are out of the World cup on their own) with tries scored by Foley who picked up 2 and Matt Giteau.

And then, Australia played their final pool game against Wales to decide who will top Pool A but the real winner went to the Wallabies (They were without Michael Hooper (The Mitchell Johnson of rugby) due to suspension for a dangerous cleanout in a ruck during the England game) as they lost Will Genia and Mumm due to yellow card offences but they showed their class as the Wallabies had one of their best defences in the history of the tournament not only because Australia is widely regarded as the best defence (Best D) in the competition eventually winning 15 - 6 by advancing to the quarterfinals by topping Pool A.

And then for the quarterfinals, Australia accepted their quarterfinal challenge against Scotland winning by a single point (35 - 34) but the match will be remembered when referee Craig Joubert controversially awarded a penalty to the Wallabies for going in front which cost Scotland the game but he should've awarded the scrum after an original knock-on.

But things have settled down as they clashed with Argentina in the semifinals but a Adam Ashley-Cooper (The David Warner of rugby) hat-trick sets up an all important 1st ever Trans-Tasman final (Although this scenario is going to be like the Cricket World Cup) ensuring Australia have won the game 29 - 15.

And yes, the very 1st time ever there will be a Trans-Tasman Rugby World Cup final which will be occurred between 2 heavyweights of the rugby world, the All Black of New Zealand up against the green and gold of the Wallabies, so uh, which will it be? (And who will strike, their name across, rugby history?)

P.S. SPOILER ALERT! I REPEAT, SPOILER ALERT!!! McCaw is free to play in the Rugby World Cup final because their have been no citings so far that videos suggested that McCaw struck Springbok blindside flanker Francois Louw with the elbow but it was an accident according to the slow-mo replay.

#NZLVSAUS, BRINGING RUGBY WORLD CUP HOME

2015 Rugby World Cup Round Up (Shortest & quickest blog ever made)

So this is it, the All Blacks have made it through to the World Cup final beating South Africa by 2 points (I was worried that New Zealand were going to lose but I only watched the 1st half but I wasn't interested watching the 2nd half so I was more interested of watching the game if the All Blacks led) but the biggest highlight of the tournament was Japan beating South Africa 34 - 32 in a memorable but historic upset in RWC history which turned the whole world upside down & England getting knocked out of the Rugby World Cup on their home turf after losses against both Wales & the Wallabies meaning that they failed to qualify to the quarterfinals (Although they both beat Fiji & Uruguay in the pool games but both losses sent them packing) as well as the All Blacks thrashing the French 62 - 13 in the quarter finals (With Julian Savea bagging 3 tries) but who will take on New Zealand, will it be Argentina or Australia, you be the judge.

P.S. I don't ever wanna feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
