NZ 29-0 France in the women's Final, Australia 24-14 USA in the Bronze Medal match. NZ women retain their World Championship, men are going to have to play outta their skins tomorrow to retain theirs.
^^^^^^^^ yeah I know you guys hate losing to kiwis almost as much as we like beating Aussies but losing to France is a pretty fucked-up avoidance tactic..
I guess Kurt Baker wanted to show similar generosity as Sonny Bill Williams but didn't want to part with his winner's medal.
NZHurld reporting that over 100K tickets were sold over the three days which is a tremendous result. Certainly from what I saw of it the stands were generally pretty full & the crowd looked to be having a great time. I think any talk of them hosting a XV's Cup is a little premature, though.
