The Rugby World Cup started 44 days ago, with England flattering to deceive against Fiji at Twickenham on September 18th.
The whole shindig will draw to a close this afternoon at the same venue, with Australia squaring off against neighbours and rivals New Zealand.
Barring a final involving Ireland it is just about the perfect ending. The two best teams who have consistently played the most entertaining rugby duking it out like they have done countless times before.
Excitement is building to the point that Australia’s scrum coach Mario Ledesma couldn’t wait to share the Wallabies’ tactical plan with the world and it seems players on both sides are also giddy with excitement.
Australia winger Drew Mitchell and All Blacks replacement centre and one-man offload factory Sonny Bill Williams couldn’t wait to share their excitement with the world…
And then all of a sudden, there were no more sleeps left!!#RWC2015 #RWCFinal

Child with a homemade, Winning Streak-style banner? That’s round one to the ABs anyway.
