Is it worth watching New Zealand vs South Africa?
Both South Africa and New Zealand have yet to cover themselves in glory. The Springboks are in the final after a run of narrow victories, including a 16-15 close shave with England. The All Blacks, meanwhile, opened their RWC campaign with their first-ever pool stage loss.
Those misfires, however, will only serve to add to the intrigue and make today's New Zealand vs South Africa showdown even more of a 'dream final'. There's plenty at stake – and a World Cup win for the All Blacks would see them regain their world No.1 status.
New Zealand have made just one change to their starting XV: Brodie Retallick is promoted from the bench to the second row. South Africa have made two changes at half-back, with semi-final hero Handre Pollard starting at fly-half and Faf de Clerk replacingCobus Reinach.
With NZL vs RSA ticket prices hovering around £4000 / $5000 you might want to grab the popcorn and watch New Zealand vs South Africa free on your TV, or online and potentially in 4K.
