3pm ET / 8pm BST: New Zealand vs South Africa
The All Blacks have made just two changes to their Rugby World Cup final showdown with the Springboks in Paris. Brodie Retallick comes in for Samuel Whitelock in the second row, while Nepo Laulala replaces Fletcher Newell on the bench.
It's set for a rainy night in Paris today with South Africa well aware of how England's kicking game took advantage of similar conditions in their semi final. And if you're looking for a team that's even better at booting the ball, and recovering it too, then it's the All Blacks all the way.
The Springboks have selected just one back among the Bomb Squad on the bench with the seven forwards to choose from to stop New Zealand in their tracks. It's an all or nothing tactical approach, the wisdom of which will unfold when the whistle blows tonight.
