Writing in the New Zealand Herald, Peter Bills believes that the All Blacks lifting the Webb Ellis Cup would be a victory for The Game.
"The manner of New Zealand's demolition of Australia in the Rugby World Cup semifinal was an object lesson to all sides around the world.
"The good news for the rest is that countries like South Africa can retain for all time their intensity, their enormous commitment in the set pieces and at the breakdown.
"After all, that was, in essence, where the semifinal was won and lost. The Wallabies just couldn't handle all that power which kept coming at them and never stopped.
"But here's the less good news for the South Africans and other teams in world rugby. You just have to have a game outside your No 10."
