Rugby’s biggest rivalry will be played out on its grandest stage with a historic, unique achievement on the line soccer
South Africa vs New Zealand soccer
This is what World Cup finals are all about soccer
It’s the two greatest rugby nations going head to head, with the winners becoming the first country to claim four men’s World Cups soccer
Unlike soccer boxing, rugby doesn’t have the notion of an undisputed champion but if ever there was a match to decide one, Saturday evening in the Stade de France would be it soccer
As Springboks assistant coach Mzwandile Stick explained 24 hours before the match: “The All Blacks have won the World Cup three times, we have won it three times, so this game is actually bigger than just a World Cup final soccer
Whoever wins is probably going to have bragging rights for the next eight years soccer
”These two countries have rugby embedded in their national DNA more than any other soccer
A game brought from the northern hemisphere during the colonial era has been seized upon, changed and improved post-independence with both nations long since surpassing their former colonisers soccer
With any other team, the constant refrains from South African players about how much it means to the people back home and how the Springboks represent something greater than themselves would come across as cloying and insincere soccer
But the point is delivered so movingly and with such earnestness that you can’t help but get swept along by the sentiment soccer
These countries first played way back in 1921 (a 13-5 New Zealand victory in Dunedin) and more than a century later, they will meet for the 106th time on Saturday evening soccer
New Zealand lead the all-time series with 62 wins to 39, and four draws, but South Africa will take heart from the most recent match-up – the record 35-7 thumping they handed their rivals at Twickenham just weeks before this World Cup started soccer
Although the rivalry has more than 100 years of history, its modern era can be traced back to one game, perhaps the most iconic rugby match of all time soccer
On 24 June 1995, having recently returned from international exile following the long overdue downfall of apartheid, South Africa hosted the Rugby World Cup final at Ellis Park in Johannesburg soccer

The hugely-favoured All Blacks, with maybe the greatest rugby player of all time in Jonah Lomu, were shackled by the upstart Springboks, spurred on by a raucous home crowd soccer
Joel Stransky’s drop goal deep into extra-time handed them a 15-12 win, the image of Nelson Mandela in a Springboks jersey and cap handing the trophy to South Africa captain Francois Pienaar became a photo seen around the world and united a divided nation soccer
Remarkably, especially given the fact that by the time the 2027 tournament rolls around it will have been one year shy of a quarter of a century since someone other than these two teams won the World Cup, Saturday will be the first time they have met in the final since soccer
Historically, the All Blacks are undeniably the greatest rugby team with an aura that surrounds them forged by years of complete and utter dominance soccer
As if to prove that point, they have won the last four Rugby Championship titles despite being ‘in crisis’ during this cycle and being written off as a shadow of their former selves soccer
The fact they have won 10 of 12 crowns since the Tri Nations became the Rugby Championship with the addition of Argentina in 2012 tells its own story soccer
However, the Springboks have become the ultimate tournament team soccer
They have a soccer better World Cup record than New Zealand, winning three of seven editions that they have entered, while victory at the Stade de France would take their strike rate up to an incredible 50 per cent soccer

One-point triumphs over France in the quarter-final and England in the semi-final could be written off as flukes were it not for the fact that every four years, the Springboks prove that they are tournament animals with ice running through their veins soccer
There was understandable excitement about northern hemisphere teams – especially France and Ireland – finally getting their moment to shine this year soccer
A legendary quarter-final weekend put paid to that but it’s hard to complain too much about what we got instead soccer
Rugby’s greatest rivalry is about to crown its undisputed World Cup champions soccer
Settle in for the ride soccer

Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were disqualified from Sunday’s United States Grand Prix after breaching the rules governing the floor of their cars in a shock end to the race weekend soccer
Hamilton and Leclerc, who finished second and sixth respectively in the 56-lap race won by Max Verstappen, were being investigated by the stewards following a plank wear inspection in Austin soccer
The original report from FIA technical delegate Joe Bauer stated: “A physical floor and a plank wear inspection was carried out on car numbers 16 [Leclerc] and 44 [Hamilton] soccer
“The skids located in this area are found to be not in compliance with Article 3 soccer
5 soccer
9 e) of the 2023 Formula One Technical Regulations soccer
I am referring this matter to the stewards for their consideration soccer
”Personnel from both Mercedes and Ferrari were summoned to see the stewards and, just after 7pm local time in Austin and more than three hours after the race finished, their disqualification from the race was confirmed soccer
Hamilton therefore loses the 18 points earned from his second-place finish, while Leclerc loses eight points soccer
Both drivers, however, do have the right to an appeal but it is understood Mercedes will not appeal the FIA’s verdict soccer
In a Mercedes press release, Hamilton stated he was simply “disappointed” with the penalty, while team boss Toto Wolff admitted “we got it wrong soccer
” The FIA note reveals that the cars of Verstappen and Lando Norris (who now moves up to second from third in the final classification) were also inspected, but passed the checks soccer

2mm and must be uniform when new soccer
“A minimum thickness of 9mm will be accepted due to wear, and conformity to this provision will be checked at the peripheries of the designated holes soccer
”The ruling means Williams driver Logan Sargeant earns his first F1 point in bizarre circumstances at his home race soccer
The final stewards report said: “During the hearing, the team acknowledged that the measurement performed by the FIA Technical Team was correct and stated that the high wear on the skid pads was probably a result of the unique combination of the bumpy track and the Sprint race schedule that minimized the time to set up and check the car before the race soccer

Logan Sargeant“The Stewards note that the onus is on the competitor to ensure that the car is in compliance with the regulations at all times during an event soccer
“In this particular case, the rear skid in the area defined in the Technical Delegate’s report was outside of the thresholds outlined in Article 3 soccer
5 soccer
9 e) of the FIA Formula One Technical Regulations, which includes a tolerance for wear soccer
“Therefore, the standard penalty for a breach of the Technical Regulations is imposed soccer
” Breaches of technical checks of the car often result in disqualification, with a recent example being Hamilton from qualifying in Brazil in 2021 soccer

Hamilton was already in hot water with the FIA for an unrelated matter, after crossing a live track at the last race in Qatar and was spoken to again in Texas due to his status as a “role model soccer
”Leclerc started Sunday’s race on pole but, opting for a different strategy, fell behind after Norris stole a march on the Ferrari at the start soccer
Hamilton, meanwhile, came close to victory after reeling in Verstappen - who was booed on the podium - at the end soccer
The 38-year-old has not won in nearly two years, with his last victory coming in Saudi Arabia in December 2021, but this disqualification will be a bitter pill for the seven-time world champion to swallow ahead of the next race, this weekend in Mexico soccer
