Which stadium hosted the 2015 Rugby World Cup final?

The story behind the answer

Twickenham Stadium hosted the 2015 Rugby World Cup final. The match was played in London on 31 October 2015, with New Zealand defeating Australia 34–17.

Twickenham is the home of the Rugby Football Union and the England national team. Opened in 1909, it is one of rugby union’s most famous venues and is often called the home of English rugby. Its location made it a natural centerpiece for a World Cup staged in England and Wales.

The final was the second Rugby World Cup decider held at Twickenham, following the 1991 final, when Australia defeated England. The 2015 match was also notable because New Zealand became the first team to retain the Webb Ellis Cup. The All Blacks had won the previous tournament in 2011.

Dan Carter was named man of the match after contributing two conversions, four penalties and a drop goal. The 51-point total made the 2015 final the highest-scoring final in Rugby World Cup history at the time. The venue is sometimes confused with Millennium Stadium or Stade de France, which hosted other major World Cup matches.
