The final was fantastic, gripping stuff. It had the perfect ending for me, the French showed what they are made of and did the Northern Hemisphere proud, but I was delighted for the All Blacks given the pressure they were under following the 28 year gap and the events in Christchurch earlier this year. Overall I thought the competition as a whole was just average. There were some good games but not too many that stand out for me. Some things that were of note I felt were, firstly the poor standard of kicking, not sure of the final percentages but it must have been down around 60% success rate. Also just how wet a country is NZ! Every other match seemed to have players slipping around the place.
