The Queen has sent a message of congratulations to the New Zealand rugby team after they ended a 24-year wait to regain the World Cup.
The team made it to a hard-fought victory over France in the World Cup final in Auckland, taking back the Webb Ellis Cup.
The Queen is currently with the Duke of Edinburgh on a tour of Australia, before this weekend's Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Perth.
