New Zealand scored six tries in total, while Australia amassed 24. Despite a sluggish start, the home team quickly asserted their superiority, leading 24-6 at halftime. Australia's star player, Jack Bostock, a key contributor from his recovery from knee surgery, scored two tries and was instrumental in maintaining his team's lead. New Zealand's efforts were commendable, with Isaiah Papali'i scoring one of their tries. However, the comprehensive victory marked Australia's record-extending 13th World Cup triumph.",
