It's all over. The All Blacks became the first nation to retain their iRB World Cup title, aka the Webb Ellis Trophy, and the first to win this three times.
Once again we had just one weekly winner. Our leader Dizart finished with a perfect 8/8 to retain the lead and win the gold medal.
srini701 and PaulE finished with 7/8 to collect the silver and bronze medals .. srini701 missed one of the finalists (he picked England with his advance pick) and PaulE missed the third-place play-off, aka the bronze medal game. Scroll back two posts for a complete list of the advance picks.
ElfTwinkle finished on a new personal high, and dg_dave finished on a new low.
2003 Dazzy_D silverginger Bertho 2007 jonnowales srini701 jill-geo 2011 LeoDaVinci paper_aero Howie72 2015 Dizart srini701 PaulE
srini701 became the first person to appear on the podium a second time .. and LeoDaVinci was the defending titleholder.
Congratulations to the three medallists .. and commiserations to the rest of us! The next iRB World Cup is four years away: Japan 2019. It will be the first to be held in Asia. |
