   Nearly every New Zealand adult, and many children too, watched the game last night. Most people watched on television, at home or in a bar. Many thousands watched outside in a fan zone. These were places like the waterfront (by the harbour) in Auckland1 and Wellington, or Hagley Park in Christchurch. The fan zones provided2 entertainment before the game and a large video screen where the crowds could watch the game. The fan zones were exciting places. But even more exciting was having a seat at Eden Park stadium3 where the game was played. The stadium was full for this final – all 61,000 seats.

  France played New Zealand in the final of the Rugby World Cup. It was a very close and tense game; however, the All Blacks (the New Zealand team) won 8 – 7. They won the gold cup. This is the first time the All Blacks have won the cup since 1987.
  Today there was a victory4 parade5 through downtown Auckland. The team travelled in open cars along Queen St. At the end, team members held up the cup. Thousands of Aucklanders were in the city to celebrate the win and to congratulate the winners. Tomorrow there will be a parade in Christchurch and on Wednesday a parade in Wellington.
