Four and a half million New Zealanders – or, at least, a good percentage of them – woke up this morning thinking: "This is it."

Twenty-two more of them will have woken up thinking much the same thing. But for those 22, who will line up for the All Blacks against France in the Rugby World Cup final, they actually have to go and do it.

The others can just watch, and cheer, and pray.
