The ultimate Rugby World Cup final is the promise. Saturday’s 106th showdown between gigantic rivals New Zealand and South Africa has elevated rugby’s biggest game further and to a potential do-you-remember-where-you-were moment for anyone who follows the sport. Through 102 years of games in a duel that’s remained rugby’s most ferocious, the All Blacks and the Springboks have played each other just once in a World Cup final before. And while that 1995 title-decider provided a momentous day and victory for a newly democratic South Africa, the reality is it didn’t have the sheer rugby significance and context that this final at Stade de France in Paris has.
