The final was oddly disappointing. As has been said, the French played to win (but lost) and the All Blacks played to lose (but just managed to win).
I was intrigued to see that a solo singing spot was given after the game to a girl called Amy Westenra. There is a tartan registered to the Westenra family of Christchurch – her family, I shouldn’t wonder.
The name looks Dutch to me, but then that is not a hindrance to having a tartan.
