New Zealand Rugby world cup winners!

So amazing to see the Boys in black win gold for the Rugby world cup for New Zealand. I'm sure there were hardly any cars early this morning on the road as most of NZ woke up to watch their TVs, computers, devices with a 5am kick off to view another legendary rival match between Australia and NZ to have bragging rights for another 4 years.

It's also going to be sad to see some of NZ's greats in Rugby close the curtain on this side of their rugby careers as they have often been seen as amazing cool headed role models to young males with the likes of Ritchie McCaw, Dan Carter and the 2 Samoans of  Kevin Mealamu and Ma'a Nonu as they retire at the end of this season. They will be sadly missed but it also ushers in the beginning of a new era of Rugby towards 2019.

I think it's time of great celebration for NZ as a Rugby mad nation but also for other nations in the world to consider what it has taken for NZ to get to the great heights that it has with unprecedented back to back wins with 3 Rugby world cups now under their belt.

All credit also goes to the Coach, Steve Hansen and the whole behind the scenes crew and families of the All blacks players. I'm not really a manic fan of Rugby as I reserve that right for my dad and husband but I've seen how the game has rallied together a nation to back a sporting team no matter what.

There are a lot of lessons to be learned from these humble winners but at this time there is a lot of reveling in the win, parties galore all around NZ and looking forward to a ticker tape parade when the boys come back. To the All blacks you have done a nation proud...
