The Rugby World Cup final didn’t end the way the All Blacks were hoping for.

The Springboks are four-time World Cup champions after defeating a 14-man All Blacks 12-11 at the Stade de France in Paris.

The final was a controversially over-refereed affair, that proved disappointing for the sport’s showpiece game.

Former All Black Sean Fitzpatrick joined Mike Hosking the over-refereeing was already an issue well before the final.

“Throughout the tournament there’s just been so many inconsistencies that it doesn’t give you any confidence and it spoils the game.”
