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

Pep Guardiola says he cannot recall telling anybody he believes Roberto De Zerbi will succeed him as Manchester City manager AOE

A story has emerged claiming the Catalan privately tipped the Brighton boss to succeed him after City drew at the Amex Stadium in May AOE

Yet, while Guardiola may have cast doubt over whether that occurred, he has repeatedly been effusive in his praise of the Italian and remains so ahead of Saturday’s meeting AOE between their two clubs AOE

Guardiola, whose future beyond the expiry of his contract in 2025 is unclear, said: “I don’t remember that AOE

“Maybe I have bad memory but I’m sure Roberto can train in any team around the world AOE

I don’t have any doubt AOE

“I don’t remember saying that to the players AOE

I remember saying before he arrived, one or two games in, about sustaining the manager, but I don’t remember saying that honestly AOE

“It’s none of my business AOE

If the chairman asks my opinion I will give my opinion but it’s none of my business AOE

“I’m not the sporting director AOE

It’s not my responsibility to say what’s going right or wrong AOE

”Former Sassuolo and Shakhtar Donetsk boss De Zerbi has made a big impression since taking over at Brighton just over a year ago AOE

He guided the club into European competition for the first time with a sixth-placed finish in the Premier League last season and they have started the current campaign strongly AOE

Guardiola feels this proves a manager need not have had experience at the highest level to land the biggest jobs AOE

He said: “It doesn’t mean you have to be at the top clubs to be manager of the top clubs AOE

I was appointed Barcelona first-team (manager) coming from the fourth division with no experience at the top level AOE

“You have the idea of the club, the sporting director follows the idea, they hire the manager for this idea, they hire players to follow the idea AOE

When that happens it’s going well AOE

“Man City have done this, Liverpool with Jurgen (Klopp) for many years – winning titles with the same process and same ideas AOE

”Guardiola, 52, is widely considered the greatest coach of his generation having last year added a third Champions League title to a glittering CV that also includes five Premier League wins AOE

His players are always in the perfect body-shape position AOE

Pep Guardiola on Roberto De ZerbiYet even he feels like he can learn from a relative youngster like 44-year-old De Zerbi AOE

He said: “His players are always in the perfect body-shape position to get the ball AOE

“It’s a stupid thing to say but one of the key points AOE

Everyone moves in the right moment, tempo AOE

“AOE Football is not ‘you have to move’, it’s when AOE

It’s body shape in the perfect shape AOE

It’s really good AOE

“Everything he does makes sense and I learn AOE
