The Rugby World Cup 2023 final promises to be an epic clash between world rugby powerhouses South Africa and New Zealand. With their three World Cup victories each, these two teams have already proven their expertise and talent on the field.
South Africa, the defending champion, is ready to do anything to defend its title. They put together a strong team, nicknamed the “bomb squad”, made up of substitutes ready to come into play at any time and turn the tide of the game. This strategy paid off throughout the tournament, notably in the quarter-final against France and the semi-final against England. The South Africans also count on their physical domination in the conquest phases and the rucks to deprive the All Blacks of attacking balls.
For their part, the All Blacks experienced constant progression throughout the tournament. After an initial defeat against France, they were able to bounce back and find their cruising speed during the final stages. Their game based on speed, technique and collective cohesion was formidable, as evidenced by their crushing victory in the semi-final against Argentina. They were able to improve their defense and reconnect with their characteristic style of play, which made them a formidable team on the pitch.
This long-awaited final is also a real rivalry between the two teams. Statistics show that South Africa have won 10 matches against the All Blacks in the last 15 years, an impressive record. The New Zealanders, for their part, are determined to prove their supremacy and show that they remain essential in world rugby.
Whatever the outcome of this final, one thing is certain: rugby fans around the world will be in excitement in front of this dream poster. The passion, intensity and talent that will be demonstrated on the field promise a memorable show. Come to the Stade de France on Saturday to watch this historic final of the 2023 Rugby World Cup!
