An enthralling contest…
In a nervy opening half it’s New Zealand who lead the Rugby World Cup Final by 16-3 against Australia.
After a nervy start, the game turned into a breathless contest and it was New Zealand who hit the decisive score with just a minute left in the half with Nehe Milner-Shudder touching down in the corner.
Here’s how the world reacted to the game that has unfolded so far…
Fierce. Intense. Legendary. It’s time for one more HAKA from the @allblacks…. #RWCFinalhttps://t.co/RxHUE0u8qX

Edgy enough opening but we're level at 3-3. Nigel Owens, unsurprisingly, is all talk #RWC2015

Conspicuous walk away from Stephen Moore by ref Nigel Owens – good to see he's not going to allow continual questions at every stoppage.

Kurtley Beale takes spectacular high-ball, spins and get clattered into touch. High-octane, breathless rugby. 3-6. 33mins #AUSvNZ #RWCFinal

All Blacks move the ball so quickly through their centres
Milner-Skudder has got enough room, outside, to raise a small herd of buffalo

Conrad Smith's draw and pass in this game is a masterclass.

The rest of the world play rugby, the All Blacks play something from another world. #RWC2015final

NZ deserved that on balance of play, fantastic handling puts Nehe Milner-Skudder in down in the corner. 16-3 at half time.
