Rugby World Cup Final - The Black Out

Well, it finally happened - 24 years waiting for the Webb Ellis Cup and the All Blacks are finally World Cup Champions. Once again we gathered at Dom and Hannah's, and out of respect for our hosts we all wore black and white, except of course 2 rebels - Rugby John and Lyndon who turned up in their Tongan jerserys. There were plenty of nervous moments for Dom as he has been a dedicated fan since childhood and we really don't know how he would have coped if they lost again. In the end 1 point was all that was needed and it was such a relief to all the kiwis present. Us Ozzies didn't really care but we congratulated them all anyway. Dom's celebrations went on, and on, and on - oh well who can blame him. He finished the night with the infamous words spoken by George Gregan last world cup "4 more years boys" - oh well hopefully the Wallabies will do better next time.




Doms shrine to Richie McCaw and some serious moments..waiting....




Come on boys, not long now Yes, I think we won it.....




Yes, we did... finally Yeeha, go you good thing....





Free rides for the kids.. Jump high and proud Dom


Yes, the night was all about Dom, but all credit to them, they hung on there until the end. Oh well, now the planning begins to get us all together again in 4 years time in England for the next Rugby World Cup.
