How brands celebrated the All Blacks' win
How Kiwi brands celebrated the big win on social media.
It's no secret that the Rugby World Cup's "sponsor family" has been making the most of the tournament's coverage over the past six weeks, with rugby-related ads dominating our screens. To celebrate the All Blacks' win and the close of the competition, these sponsor brands - and others - took to social media to show their support (and indulge in a little self-promotion.)
Air New Zealand brought back the pug from its newest safety video:
They left as champions, they will return as legends.Congratulations to our favourite #Squad. @AllBlacks #CrazyAboutRugby #SquadGoals

Land Rover left its product out of the congratulations, instead posting a picture of Dan Carter's legendary kick:
Brilliant work, gentlemen. You've done New Zealand proud. The first successful defenders of the RWC and only nation to win three times. Amazing.

And Stickman went for the laughs, as usual:
Well done boys! We couldn't be more proud... In fact, we're so proud we're changing our name to something much more All Blacksie.
