In the lead up to the World Cup final, the match seemed to have all the makings of a classic but nobody must have told New Zealand.
Australia's dominance through their 32-12 victory at Lang Park was built on speed and precision as the Kangaroos cruised home to bury the Kiwis under a mountain of errors.
It turned the final into a fizzer. After all the anticipation and hype, New Zealand let themselves down badly, totally failing to meet the moment while the Kangaroos saved their best for last.
They played like champions and Australia were ruthless in punishing the Kiwis for their lapses, perhaps because they had plenty of practice at it.
