New Zealand added another accolade to the Webb Ellis Cup - again edging their rivals in our famous Team of the Tournament.
Thank you Richie McCaw. Not for your inspiring leadership as New Zealand ended their 24-year Rugby World Cup drought, but rather for your rather accurate summation of events at the full-time whistle of Sunday's dramatic RWC Final.
It has been a remarkable year for All Blacks scrumhalf Piri Weepu, rebounding from a broken leg to become the pivotal player in a New Zealand team that plays France in the World Cup Final on Sunday.
Right then, folks... it's been fun, but, sadly our Rugby World Cup lookalikes have come to an end. (Which kind of makes sense with the final just two days away now.)
Clearly we have nothing better to do with our time here at Rugby Rugby ... despite the Rugby World Cup still being on the go. But that said, and judging by your comments, our lookalikes have produced a smile... or two.

After seeing the news that a Welsh farmer, Ian Neale, had grown a world record vegetable Snoop Dogg had a shout out for Ian to come as a VIP to his local show and give him some pointers on improving his yield.
In 1987, the first year of World Cup, the same teams played in the semifinals as will be playing in the 2011 semifinals - not against the same opponents, but the same teams. We take a trip down RWC memory lane...
New Zealand vs Australia is an all out battle whenever the rivals meet and it was no different in the Rugby World Cup semifinals.
