The remake of the last finale. It’s the same poster as four years ago in Japan. Impressively powerful, the Springboks went for their third title after a tough final against the valiant but blunt English (32-12).
The Springboks towards a “back-to-back”? After beating the Blues in the quarter, the South Africans still dream of retaining the William Webb Ellis trophy. They are only two victories away from a possible “back-to-back”. The All Blacks currently remain the only team to have won two titles, in 2011 and 2015.
A big piece for England. Present in the most accessible part of the table, the English went through the World Cup without facing a team higher ranked than them. Eighth nation in the world at the start of this World Cup, now up to fifth place, England is this time facing a big chunk, the new leaders of the World Rugby rankings.
