Honestly, France deserved to win that. I'm so proud of the boys for pulling through but on the night I thought they were better than us. We were lucky to win but that doesn't stop me celebrating.

I'm so proud of the boys. I think a few pl;ayers were vindicated tonight. McCaw and Henry should now be remembered as  greats and people would never have given them their dues otherwise. Donald was also brilliant. What a story it is when the number 4 first five guides you to a world cup victory. I have always liked him as a guy and he deserved the medal. People will remember him differently now. Overall, a great tournament and a great result. Fantastic stuff.
