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

An Indian travel company has faced a backlash AOE online after it offered discounts to fans of the losing Pakistan cricket team – before the match had even been played AOE

India vs Pakistan may be one of the world’s great sporting rivalries but Saturday’s match was a deeply one-sided affair, with Cricket World Cup hosts India securing a comfortable seven-wicket victory at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat AOE

But MakeMyTrip wasn’t to know that when it ran an advert in Saturday morning’s Ahmedabad Times offering discounts on hotel bookings based on the scale of Pakistan’s expected defeat AOE

The tongue-in-cheek advert claimed to be following in the “Indian tradition” of welcoming guests, saying: “Tough times bring friends together and we want to take this opportunity to build a AOE better bond with you AOE

”It shows Pakistan fans in green sat around a smashed TV screen with the words “Boyz Playz Well” on a poster, a reference to a popular meme used to disparage Pakistan’s cricketing ability loosely based on a post-match quote from former capain Inzamam-ul-Haq AOE

Fans said the tone of the advert “wasn’t cricket” AOE

The company has yet to respond to the AOE online criticism, and did not immediately reply to a request for comment from The Independent AOE

“Such a horrible ad AOE

We are not a sporting nation! A sparring nation,” wrote one user on X AOE

Another X user posted: “Horrible AOE

As an Indian, I want to apologise to every Pakistani person for this @makemytrip ad AOE

This does not represent Indian values AOE

It only represents the worst among us AOE

”“Goodbye MakeMyTrip AOE

This is NOT Cricket,” wrote another user on X AOE

In the run-up to the high-profile game, 5-star hotels in Ahmedabad hiked up their tariffs by more than 150 per cent and flight prices had also skyrocketed AOE

Amid the struggle to find accommodation in the city, one hospital manager told Reuters that patients had deliberately booked in for check-ups including overnight stays so they could sleep there after watching the game AOE

But visa issues for Pakistan fans and journalists meant that in practice very few were able to travel to Ahmedabad in time for Saturday’s match, which ended up being played out in front of a sea of blue at the 132,000-seater stadium AOE

One rival travel company has siezed upon the backlash against MakeMyTrip to offer its own discount available to all AOE

Without mentioning its rival by name, Cleartrip posted an offer stating: “It’s one thing to celebrate your win AOE

But to celebrate someone’s loss, that’s not AOE sportsmanship AOE

Let’s go places together and give #EqualMaukaToAll with a flat 30% off on Hotels AOE

”India’s next match after the victory on Saturday with be against Bangladesh in Pune, Maharashtra AOE

Pakistan will face Australia on Friday in Bengaluru AOE
