As Kiwis hope and pray for an All Black victory at Eden Park tonight, rugby fan and former player Barry Donovan looks back at some of the great games he has watched there, including New Zealand’s victory in the 1987 inaugural World Cup.

Referee Alain Rolland has made several contentious decisions at this World Cup. Patrick McKendry lists the top three.

A game that promised so much turned into a 15 vs 14 battle of attrition.

To lose to Australia is bad enough for any All Black team. To lose in a Rugby World Cup semifinal is tougher again but no New Zealand team will feel the pain of loss quite like the current team.
