NZ Team Rugby Worldcup 2011 Final Pics
New Zealand win rugby World Cup
Hosts New Zealand just about held their collective nerve to edge France 8-7 at Eden Park in Auckland and win the World Cup for the second time after a gap of 24 years.
This was not the coronation that had been predicted but ultimately a first-half try from prop Tony Woodcock and a penalty from fourth-choice flyhalf Stephen Donald proved enough to end the country's long wait for a second triumph after 1987.

Position: Wing
Weight: 96 kg (15 st 2 lb)
Height: 182 cm (6 ft 0 in)
Club: Crusaders, Hawke’s Bay
Honours: Maori Player of the Year (2009)
Debut: v Wales, November 7, 2009
Guidlford made his debut for Hawke’s Bay and the Hurricanes while still a teenager and wasted no time in gaining a reputation as a lethal finisher.
In 2009, Guildford was the leading try scorer in the IRB Junior World Championships, an event won by New Zealand but marred by the death of Guildford’s father in the stands after the conclusion of the final.
The winger bounced back from the tragedy to top the try scoring tables in New Zealand’s domestic championship, earning selection for the All Blacks’ end of year tour.
A member of the Crusaders’ large contingent in the national team, Guildford represented the All Blacks sporadically in 2010 and 2011.
