‘Tenner on eBay’ – Fans all say same thing as New Zealand handed bizarre rugby World Cup trophy after beating England
WINNING the World Cup saw New Zealand pick up a small trophy that looked like it could be bought on “eBay for a tenner”.
New Zealand’s women’s rugby team beat England 34-31, ending the Red Roses’ 30-test winning streak.
England played a large portion of the game with 14 players due to Lydia Thompson’s 18th minute red card.
Such a disadvantage saw England extend their final losing streak to New Zealand to FIVE.
England had a chance to sieze vicxtory with one last line-out but they lost their throw.
New Zealand’s reward for winning the World Cup was a bizarrely small trophy, which has left fans saying the same thing: It looks cheap.
