On 31 October, at Twickenham, New Zealand won the 2015 Rugby World Cup, becoming the first team to retain their title, and the first to win the title for a third time. We were up at 5am Sunday morning to watch the game live. There were many emotions experienced during the next 80 minutes, from the excitement seeing New Zealand jump into an early lead to the shock and horror when Australia gained on us again. Finally came a realisation that the All Blacks had taken the game.
To mark this event, New Zealand Post is issuing this special Miniature Sheet showing the celebrating All Blacks grouped for a photograph after being presented with the Webb Ellis Cup. The sheet also shows basic details such as the date, location and the two teams that played with their respective scores. What does stand out boldly is the title at the top "All Blacks World Champions 2015."

While I like the design of this sheet I do not like the fact that we see those All Blacks silver fern stamps again. Sure they have been issued enough already?
