[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 765783, member: 12207"] [b]Final: New Zealand vs. Australia (31/10/2015)[/b] Yeah, Cricket's ODI World Cup is much more akin to the RWC in terms of scale, competitiveness and popularity (arguably bigger and more competitive in some ways, with England and SA both being sides that are remarkable in their inability to win in spite of their pedigree). League and Netball are definitely much more limited. To my mind this is very much the Cricket WC Final in reverse: you were playing us at our only true national game in that match, whilst in this final we're playing you in yours. If the Wallabies pull it off though it'd cap off an amazing few years for our national sides: RL World Cup Champs Cricket WC Champs Netball WC Champs Hockey WC Champs Soccer Asian Cup Champs I'm guessing it'll be a bridge too far, but it would cap off this little era pretty nicely!
