Writing in The New Zealand Herald, Wynne Gray gives his take on the World Cup final.
"An old-style scoreboard attendant would have earned a fair swag for his work during the World Cup final at Eden Park.
Just four times, he'd have reached for the white numbers painted on to the black boards to hang on the hooks.
All Blacks 8 France 7.
Someone hitting the hallowed sports arena after being detained somewhere would surely gulp and question whether some numbers had slipped from the pegs.
Single digit scoreline. Hang on a minute, are we in the wrong hemisphere?"
