Two old foes rejoin battle on Saturday night at the Stade de France for the most prestigious prize in international rugby union: the World Cup. New Zealand and South Africa have both claimed the Webb Ellis trophy on three occasions. New Zealand in 1987, 2011 and 2015; South Africa in 1995, 2007 and 2019. And in the 10th World Cup final, one will emerge with bragging rights of a record fourth title.
As they prepare for their seventh match in France, both squads can look back with pride over seven weeks of changing fortunes.
