BxBarracuda ran out of steam and was swamped at the finish post. LeoDaVinci wins the gold medal on a countback 4-0 vs. 4-1 from paper_aero, and Howie72 takes the last podium spot and the bronze medal.

The wooden spoon which cost paper-aero the gold medal came in Round 3, when a score of 7/8 gave six players a spoon each!

jonnowales was the only player to pick both finalists, and the winner, with his three adavance picks .. jonnowales was the defending title-holder, and srini701 was the silver medallist in the 2007 tipping comp.

After 24 long years New Zealand once again win the William Webb Ellis Cup, beating France in a re-run of the 1987 World Cup Final. The bronze medal game was also a re-run of the 1987 match, but this time Australia beat Wales.

     Winner             Runner-Up   3rd place          4th place
1987 New Zealand  29-9  France      Wales        22-21 Australia
1991 Australia    12–6  England     New Zealand  13–6  Scotland 
1995 South Africa 15–12 New Zealand France       19–9  England 
1999 Australia    35–12 France      South Africa 22–18 New Zealand
2003 England      20–17 Australia   New Zealand  40–13 France 
2007 South Africa 15–6  England     Argentina    34–10 France 
2011 New Zealand   8–7  France      Australia    21–18 Wales
