The Wallabies made at least one New Zealander very happy this morning even if the Australians are now worrying Kiwi fans with how well they are playing at this World Cup.
A punter, who would only identify himself as being from "the Mighty Manawatu", won $39,005 when the Australians won this morning's pool of death decider over Wales 15-6 at Twickenham in London.
The result ensured the Wallabies topped group A and completed a massive 130,000 per cent return for the punter after his punt all started with a $30 multi-bet seven months ago.
It has been an extraordinary run across three different rugby competitions in two hemispheres.
New Zealand Racing Board spokeswoman Kate Gourdie said the punter correctly picked five half/full time doubles in the Super Rugby and Six Nations' competitions, a winning team and margin and a points start in the Crusaders v Lions match. All that remained was for Australia to top their pool this morning.
