Rugby’s biggest rivalry will be played out on its grandest stage with a historic, unique achievement on the line AOE

South Africa vs New Zealand AOE

This is what World Cup finals are all about AOE

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 AOE

Unlike AOE 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 AOE

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 AOE

Whoever wins is probably going to have bragging rights for the next eight years AOE

”These two countries have rugby embedded in their national DNA more than any other AOE

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 AOE

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 AOE

But the point is delivered so movingly and with such earnestness that you can’t help but get swept along by the sentiment AOE

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 AOE

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 AOE

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 AOE

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 AOE

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 AOE

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 AOE

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 AOE

Historically, the All Blacks are undeniably the greatest rugby team with an aura that surrounds them forged by years of complete and utter dominance AOE

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 AOE

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 AOE

However, the Springboks have become the ultimate tournament team AOE

They have a AOE 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 AOE

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 AOE

There was understandable excitement about northern hemisphere teams – especially France and Ireland – finally getting their moment to shine this year AOE

A legendary quarter-final weekend put paid to that but it’s hard to complain too much about what we got instead AOE

Rugby’s greatest rivalry is about to crown its undisputed World Cup champions AOE

Settle in for the ride AOE

Lewis Hamilton has claimed there were multiple drivers who should have been disqualified from last weekend’s United States Grand Prix for running an illegal car AOE

Hamilton was stripped of his second place after the floor on his upgraded Mercedes failed a post-race scrutineering check AOE

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, who finished sixth, was also kicked out of the classification for an identical breach AOE

But Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who claimed his 15th win of the season, and the McLaren of Lando Norris, elevated to second following Hamilton’s penalty, were both cleared of any wrongdoing AOE

However, speaking ahead of this weekend’s race in Mexico City, Hamilton said: “I heard from several sources that there were a lot of other cars that were illegal and they were not tested so they got away with it AOE

“I have been racing here for 16 years and there have been many other scenarios like this where some people have got away with it, and some have been unlucky and have been tested AOE

”Hamilton said the sprint format in Austin – which allowed for just one hour of practice before parc ferme rules heavily constrict changes to the cars – coupled with the bumpy nature of the Circuit of the Americas were behind his disqualification AOE

Limited FIA resources means the governing body checks only a handful of cars after a race, and the selections are based on oscillation data AOE

But Hamilton continued: “There needs to be a AOE better structure to make sure it is fair and even across the board AOE

“We have never had that problem in Austin before, and is because we had a sprint race AOE

An easy fix is that we should be able to change the floors AOE

“The car should not be set from Friday morning especially at the bumpiest track on the calendar AOE

“That is the only reason there were failures AOE

And that reason wasn’t why we were as fast as we were AOE

We hope we have another strong weekend here AOE

”Hamilton finished just 2 AOE

2 seconds behind Verstappen in his most competitive race of the season – one he believed he could have won if Mercedes did not fluff their strategy lines AOE

“I had just come out the press conference and I was about to get into the ice tub when (team principal) Toto (Wolff) came running down and told me,” added Hamilton AOE

“It was devastating because it was such a great day and a great race AOE

I was deflated, but there are lots of positives to take from it AOE
