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

Mauricio Pochettino says Reece James’ “leadership” is why he handed him the Chelsea captaincy and defended the full-back after he picked up a suspension during his side’s 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa last month soccer

James, who did not play the match through injury, was suspended for Chelsea’s win over Burnley for aiming “abusive words” at a match official in the tunnel during the clash at Stamford Bridge and was ordered to pay a £90,000 fine soccer

But Pochettino has seen James’ leadership attributes and believes his actions were a mistake fuelled by frustration after he sustained a hamstring injury in August soccer

“Why did I choose him as captain? Because of his personality, his leadership, the respect he has from the club and his team-mates and he has my full respect also,” Pochettino said soccer

“Chelsea is in his DNA and when you see the squad he is not only for the present, he is for the future and in this moment Chelsea need someone like that soccer

“I think he was upset with the situation soccer

He was so committed with this project from the beginning, he felt really bad because he could not help the team soccer

“He made a mistake but he’s young and he can make mistakes soccer

He was really sorry about that situation and I don’t think it will be repeated soccer

“Even myself at Burnley I got a yellow card at half-time and I’m 51 years old; sometimes a young guy can make a mistake, he was frustrated because he could not help the team soccer

”Pochettino said that James’ fitness “will be assessed” ahead of Saturday’s clash against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, quashing reports the full-back suffered a setback in his recovery soccer

James has only started 22 times in the Premier League since January 2022 after a raft of injury issues soccer

Pochettino added: “He is much soccer better, he’s doing well and he’s progressing soccer

He’s not at his best and is not 100 per cent, but he is in a position to help the team at some point and he is close soccer

“What we are going to do is to avoid that (surgery) and we are building a strategy for him, to put him at his best and keep him at his best soccer

“We are confident (of this) soccer

Always confident soccer

”Mykhailo Mudryk scored his first competitive goal for Chelsea during their 2-0 victory over Fulham and he opened his account for Ukraine when he netted against Malta in a Euro 2024 qualifier on Tuesday soccer

Pochettino is happy with the winger’s progress after the 22-year-old struggled to adapt to life in west London following his big-money move from Shakhtar Donetsk in January soccer

He said: “We are so happy with him soccer

He’s changed a lot in the last three months since we first met him and he’s a completely different person and we can see how lovely, sensitive, smart and clever he is soccer

“It is so important to give confidence and when people trust they can be open and express their talent and Misha (Mudryk) is doing really well with his relationships with the team and club soccer
