Once the win was secure and the Web Ellis Trophy lifted by captain Richie McCaw, elated fans took to the streets and brought Auckland alive with shouts of joy.
One of the joyful fans leaving The Fox was Neil Bassett, who didn't have many words to describe his emotions except "amazing, brilliant".
The crowd erupted with cheers, applause and hugs as Nehe Milner-Skudder crossed the try line a minute before half-time.

"It's been a total team performance, but it's Australia," he said.
