Last night saw the climax of the Rugby World Cup with the Wallabies facing off against the All Blacks.

New Zealand played a hard-fought game and came out on top yet again, having won the previous World Cup as well. By all accounts, it was an emotional evening for New Zealanders, with one young fan rushing towards Sonny Bill Williams.

The young fan was quickly tackled by a security guard before Williams waved him off and helped the lad to his feet. The two exchanged words and, afterwards, the centre-wing put his Rugby World Cup medal over the boy's head and gave him a huge.

Take a look.

You think Williams came back later and was all, "Actually, I want my medal...", but couldn't do it in front of the cameras? Nah, probably not.

Still, pretty serious tackle by the security guard against the young lad, but he recovered well. He's got a future ahead of him, that lad.
