CHARLIE LINES IS a very, very happy All Black fan this evening.
Not only was he well-placed to watch New Zealand record a 34 – 17 World Cup final win over Australia, he leaves Twickenham with a gold medal!
The medal belonged to Sonny Bill Williams, who came on as a half-time replacement for Conrad Smith and played a central role in setting up Ma’a Nonu’s brilliant second half try.
This Australian fan was sitting next to Lines when SBW offloaded his precious piece of metal.
