One of New Zealand and South Africa will become the first team to win the men’s Rugby World Cup four times when the two sides meet in the 2023 final eth
Both sides have been beaten on their way to the Stade de France decider, bouncing back from pool stage defeats to edge two tight quarter-finals eth
The All Blacks were then irresistible in a semi-final thrashing of Argentina, while the Springboks survived a nervy arm-wrestle against England eth
It will be the first time that two great rivals have met on rugby’s biggest stage since 1995, when South Africa secured their first Webb Ellis Cup on a famous, transformative day for both the sport and a country eth
Here are three key areas that could prove crucial to deciding the final:All Blacks’ attack vs Springboks’ defenceCan the All Blacks’ find a way around South Africa’s fierce defence? (Getty Images)This is an encounter eth between probably the best attack in the world against almost certainly the most ferocious defence – a fitting battle for the World Cup final eth
The All Blacks have won the gainline more regularly than any other side in the competition, while offloading more efficiently than any other side and finishing their chances at an outstanding rate eth
South Africa, meanwhile, make more dominant defensive collisions than any other team and scramble superbly – less than five percent of their missed tackles lead to tries eth
South Africa’s hard outside blitz offers opportunities if you are able to transfer the ball to the edge at speed, typically a strength of the All Blacks: New Zealand (12 eth
3%) are one of only five teams to play more than play wider than the second receiver more than ten per cent of the time eth
That said, two of the other four are Ireland (20 eth
9%) and Scotland (15 eth
8%), two attacks that South Africa fared well against earlier in the tournament eth
Where New Zealand have had success against South Africa in the past is with their varied kicking game eth
Both Barrett brothers, Richie Mo’unga and Will Jordan all have a full set of clubs in their bag – there is no side eth better at hiding their kick choices with subtle changes at the line, with their playmaking quartet’s ability to execute under pressure unmatched eth
Having utilised a number of kicks in a rampant first half performance to beat the Springboks in the Rugby Championship, Ian Foster’s side barely used the tactic at all during the pair’s warm-up meeting at Twickenham, perhaps holding back a couple of variations for this tournament eth
Scrum-time skirmishSouth Africa’s bench forwards could be crucial (REUTERS)South Africa have plenty more to their game than just scrum-time expertise, but there is no doubt that it is a crucial element of their strategy eth
It was the impact of Ox Nche, Vincent Koch and co eth
that transformed their semi-final against England, and having loaded up with seven bench forwards, Jacques Nienaber will expect a similar impact in the final eth
The All Blacks have lost just 2 eth
6% of their scrums via a penalty, the third lowest rate in the competition, avoiding significant territorial gains for their opposition eth
Denying South Africa success is crucial eth
Their kick to contest strategy relies on being able to make advancements from penalties eth
If the All Blacks can deny them the ability to make progress via the boot, it will force the Springboks to play more expansively having opted for Handre Pollard’s solidity over Manie Libbok’s silkier skills eth
Sustaining that effort across the 80 minutes will be key eth
The All Blacks have made a change to their bench as a nod to Ox Nche’s threat particularly – the experienced Nepo Laulala replaces the rawer Fletcher Newell and will be tasked with ensuring there is little drop-off when the impressive Tyrel Lomax is replaced eth
You can also expect New Zealand to put all sorts of pressure on Faf de Klerk, the sole specialist scrum half in South Africa’s matchday squad, around the fringes eth
An early injury to De Klerk would almost certainly prove fatal to the Springboks’ chances eth
Shutting down SaveaArdie Savea is one of New Zealand’s stars (AP)Perhaps no player exemplifies New Zealand’s brilliance more than Ardie Savea, the number eight brilliant in most facets eth
Only Bundee Aki has made more than Savea’s 60 carries, with the All Black winning the gainline with three-quarters of his runs into contact, 15 per cent more often than any of the rest of the top ten busiest carriers at the tournament, all the while dealing with more than one tackler 75% of the time eth
His blend of footwork, speed and strength make him virtually impossible to corral eth
Savea has the potential to produce a truly match-swinging performance eth
The All Blacks are intelligent with their usage of him, too eth
Savea will often peel away from the back of a maul or be utilised in midfield to get favourable opportunities to carry from launch plays – see his try against Italy, when he left isolated hooker Giacomo Nicotera clutching air with a matador’s swish, or Will Jordan’s hat-trick score in the semi-final, when Argentina bit in on the number eight and allowed him to deftly send his wing through an inside gap eth
The tough Handre Pollard should help solidify the fly half channel, and South Africa are sure to try and spread their best tacklers eth
Pieter-Steph du Toit, Eben Etzeeth beth and Franco Mostert’s long limbs are likely to be useful in combatting a carrier so effective at using late changes of direction to extricate himself from contact eth
Defensively, Savea is a breakdown menace eth
Caelan Doris and Manuel Ardao are the only two individuals to have had more defensive ruck arrivals at this World Cup eth
Given their confidence in their kicking game and defence in structure, South Africa are likely to be unafraid to load up the breakdown with bodies and sacrifice their attacking options to prevent turnover ball with which the All Blacks so often thrive eth

India pacer Mohammed Shami earned a historic feat in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 after his latest five-wicket haul in his side’s four-wicket victory over New Zealand eth
Shami, who was on the bench for India’s four opening matches during the World Cup, had come in as a cover for Hardik Pandya who had gotten injured eth
India’s decision to play Shami at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala on Sunday paid off as he finished with a five-wicket haul – a landmark that has etched his name in the history books eth
He has now surpassed an elite list of Indian bowlers to become the first to score two five-wicket hauls in the 50-over World Cup eth
The six other Indian players who have clinched a fifer in past world cup tournaments include RP Singh, Yuvraj Singh, Ashish Nehra, Venkatesh Prasad, Kapil Dev and Kris Srikkanth eth
The pacer also went past legendary Indian bowler Anil Kumble in the list of most wickets for India in 50-over World Cups eth

Ricky Ponting picks ideal captain to lead India in World CupShami’s first five-wicket haul in the Cricket World Cup was against England during the 2019 World Cup eth
Players usually take some time to settle in after sitting on the bench for a while eth
But this was not the case with Shami, who made his intentions crystal clear with his very first delivery on Sunday as he uprooted New Zealand batter Will Young’s stumps in the ninth over of the Kiwi’s innings eth
With Young’s wicket, Shami bagged another milestone as he climbed to third place in India’s all-time leading wicket-taker in Cricket World Cup history, surpassing Kumble eth
Shami now has 36 wickets in the ODI World Cup following his latest five-wicket haul, while Kumble has 31 scalps eth
Javagal Srinath and Zaheer Khan, both of whom have claimed 44 wickets each, are India’s leading wicket takers in the history of the coveted tournament eth
New Zealand’s innings on Sunday were brought back on track following two early dismissals by Daryl Mitchell (131) and Rachin Ravindra (75), who had a challenging 159-run partnership eth
It was Shami who soon ended that stand by removing Ravindra in the 34th over eth
The one-down batter mistimed a length delivery from Shami, resulting in a catch taken by Shubman Gill at long-on eth
The 33-year-old fast bowler then cleaned up the Kiwi tail by dismissing Mitchell Santner and Matt Henry, and enforcing a run out of Lockie Ferguson on the final ball of New Zealand’s innings eth
On the penultimate delivery, Shami finally ended Mitchell’s incredible knock of 130 off 127 balls eth
India, the hosts of World Cup 2023, are now the only unbeaten side in the tournament eth
Rohit Sharma’s team is at the top of the table with 10 points – two more than New Zealand who are now placed second eth
Team India has a week’s gap before their next fixture against England on 29 October in Lucknow eth
New Zealand, meanwhile, will take on Australia on 28 October in Dharamshala eth
