NZ had an easy world cup compared to Australia (apart from SA game) and I think this will help Aus to a tight win. They have been the most impressive team by far this year. Being an Ireland fan, not really too bothered who wins but I think Australia deserve it based on what we've seen so far.

For ABs this WC has turned out perfectly so far. ABs will have to beat the only 3 teams that have beaten them in the WC in a row. Also doing it away from home and going for the first 2 in a row. What an amazing challenge and it's these kinds of challenges the ABs get excited about and go looking for. Winning this game and the 2 before could make up for all those other WC.

This game is going to be a classic of classics can't wait

If you look at it this way SA came within 2 points of winning and they have had a poor RWC campaign, whereas Australia have had a very good RWC campaign and know how to beat the ABs so I honestly can't call this one... Of course the ABs are the favourites though cant deny that !!

Iwim8 don't get me wrong, they'll still be a fantastic team but I don't think they'll hit the consistency of the last 4 years-I mean they only lost was it 4 tests? And yes all teams lose players after a WC but NZ is losing its midfield partnership, captain and fly half all at once (to name the most important ones). This is much much more than after any WC for any team. NZ have some fantastic replacements but they don't have the experience or mental resolve of the guys going out.

John smith - Evan with all our departing players, I can guarantee you, all blacks dominance will stay. After every World Cup we lose a tonne of experience and still manage to dominate. I have so much faith in our team, regardless on who is wearing the jersey! #blacktoblack

if theres one team that can trouble the abs, its the wallabies. cant wait. go the abs.

Everything changes in a World Cup. Wallabies have met the ABs 4 times in a WC and won 3/4 encounters... It will be a gruelling and tough game, where both sides will be battling to get their rhythm.

I'm stoked that we're going to see the much anticipated, first ever Australia vs New Zealand Rugby World Cup Grand Final! Go Wallabies!!

ABs have been consistently the best team for the past 4 years. If they win it'll be totally deserved.
After this WC they'll be a totally different team with so many players retiring - I don't see them maintaining their current dominance.

Tbh even though I don't want the all blacks to win the whole thing, I think they deserve it more than any other team. They've only lost like 4 games since the last World Cup, and they beat us in the semis. So I think they deserve to win the whole thing
