New Zealand beat Australia 20-6 in a fiery semi-final against Australia on Sunday to set up a Rugby World Cup final clash with France.
The All Blacks defied the massive weight of expectation placed on them and never looked back from Ma'a Nonu's early try.
Piri Weepu's 12 points and Aaron Cruden's drop-goal kept New Zealand in front throughout, although it was the immense effort in defence - led by the awesome Richie McCaw - that broke the Wallabies.
Israel Dagg, Cory Jane and Nonu also caught the eye in attack, while the pack were on top at the breakdown.
Australia just couldn't find any way back into the contest. Quade Cooper was specifically targeted by the hosts as a drop-goal was the best that he could manage as they failed to break the solid black wall.ORIGINAL SOURCE
