Will Jordan only needs one more try to overtake Jonah Lomu (1999), Bryan Habana (2007) and Julian Savea (2015) who are all tied on eight tries scored at a Rugby World Cup in a single campaign.

The winger is already among some great names as he sits with eight tries in his debut World Cup.

One chance is all he will need. Can the Springboks stop him from making history?

The 10th Rugby World Cup final in Paris is set to be a family affair for New Zealand and their Barrett brothers.

Lock Scott, centre Jordie and full-back Beauden will become the first trio of siblings to play in a final.

Beauden won the World Cup in 2015 but says lifting the Webb Ellis Cup with his brothers is a "driver" for him.

"It would certainly be the most special thing we have done as brothers," the 32-year-old told BBC Rugby Union Daily.

"To share that with the two of them would be super special for our family."

The conditions have narrowed the margin. Ordinarily I would have said New Zealand by quite a few. But the enormity of South Africa wanting to win back-to-back World Cups, with so many players from four years ago, is there.

I think it is going to go down to the wire. I don't think there is going to be a massive difference between the sides.

Back in the day, there was a mixture of hope and pride that our flagship team would win the World Cup, but it came across to others like we expected to win it.

Having realistic expectations in the tournament has been good for us, we've come in as fourth or fifth favourites. We're seeing the thrill more of victory rather than the expectation.

The quarter-final against Ireland summed that up - the New Zealanders in the stadium were quite quiet at the start, quite reserved, and they grew in volume.

We recognise that the team has been working really hard and seems to be peaking at the right time.

South Africa have been ahead at half-time in all three of their previous World Cup finals. They have never conceded more than six first-half points in each of their three finals.

New Zealand and South Africa have consistently reigned supreme at the very top of rugby for decades.

Since 2007, either the All Blacks or South Africa have won the Rugby World Cup.

And with three titles each, and the last four between them, no side has won more than these two powerhouses of world rugby.

Tonight one of them will become the first nation to reach a coveted fourth title, with South Africa aiming to join their rivals in being the only sides to win it back-to-back.

I don't think the players, in the week of a World Cup final, need any extra motivation but there is so much more. There's so much history behind the All Blacks and the Springboks, dating back to when the first tour was conducted in 1921.

Economically for the tournament, a France-Ireland final would have been wonderful; the top two teams in the world, the hosts etc. But there are plenty of South Africans and New Zealanders around and, for the neutral, this is a good one because it has a real history and a real punch behind this fixture.

Andrew: South Africa have completely emptied the tank on three occasions - against Ireland, France and England. While New Zealand by comparison have only had to do that once, (vs Ireland) as on the opening night vs France they were off the pace. New Zealand have also had an extra day rest from the semi-finals, can South Africa dig deep yet again?

An 11-hour time difference between South Africa and New Zealand means Kiwi fans will be just getting out of bed on Sunday morning for the big game, while in South Africa it is quite the opposite.

Plenty of Springbok fans are in the streets of Cape Town to watch the final. Get that party started!

All Black fans are so significantly outnumbered, they are clubbing together for comfort.

Mark and Melanie, on the left, have come over from Virginia, while Denyse and Kristin, from New Plymouth originally, and Cameron, a Glaswegian, have made their way over from their houseshare in south-west London.

It's a United Nation of New Zealand.

Denyse is very nervous. She said it a little stronger than that, but you get the idea.

All Blacks fan Morgan Taylor says he’s glad it’s New Zealand and South Africa in the final.

“We’re both proper big rugby nations and two of the best in the world,” he tells BBC Newsbeat.

“Rugby back home is like football here in the UK - you grow up with it, playing it and watching it.

“It’s a sport we’ll always love, it put a tiny nation on the other side of the world on the global stage.”

Morgan is from New Zealand but lives in London – which wasn’t fun for him when the All Blacks were knocked out of the last World Cup by England.

“Normally I’m walking around quite tall and loud about our side but since the 2019 World Cup and losing to England there, I’ve been keeping my head down a little bit more,” he says.

“I’m really excited for this though, it’s our chance to bring home another one against a really strong side.

“They got it in 2019, it’s our turn now so we’re going to be taking it back.”

The set-piece battle has already begun outside the stadium.

If you fancy yourself as the next Ox Nche, a sponsor is offering the chance to pack down against an opponent on a special test-your-strength pressure gauge.

These two lads, representing South Africa on the left and France on the right, know their way around a scrum machine and contest a best-of-three battle.

Victory to France!

Forget the quarter-final, that was the real test.

New Zealand could easily have fallen short against world number ones Ireland in the last eight. Instead they saw out an incredible finale of 37 phases from the Irish to claim a momentous 28-24 win over their rivals and leave Johnny Sexton and his team-mates to reflect on an excruciating eighth quarter-final defeat.

South Africa, meanwhile, have shown the heart of champions.

Against France and then England they came from behind late on to win by a single point on each occasion.

Huge.

A World Cup trip to a different continent?

Box office, bucketlist stuff. I'm floating the idea to my wife that her first-ever trip to the United States could coincide with the football World Cup of 2026 at the moment but the response has been as leaden and frosty as the Parisian sky so far.

Sashin, Josh, Michael and Kuben are unwavering in their confidence.

Taking a look at the rain teeming down outside, they back the Springbok coaching staff on the decision to bring in a De Klerk-Pollard half-back partnership and load the bench with seven forwards.

They have saved up for four years to make the trip over here from Johannesburg and Pretoria so the investment is financial, emotional and total.

More recently, the All Blacks were on the wrong end of the heaviest defeat in their history at the hands of South Africa, losing 35-7 at Twickenham in their final warm-up game before the World Cup.

The All Blacks' previous record loss was by 21 points, while their defeat in August also ended an 11-match unbeaten run.

In 105 previous meetings, New Zealand have won 62, the Springboks 39 and there have been four draws.

South Africa's first involvement in a Rugby World Cup was as hosts in 1995, following a sporting ban which prevented them from participating in the first two editions.

New Zealand cruised into the final thanks to four tries by Jonah Lomu in their semi-final victory over England and, with Lomu in seemingly unstoppable form, were favourites.

No tries were scored in the final, with Joel Stransky and Andrew Mehrtens exchanging three penalties and a drop-goal each before the full-time whistle sounded.

The game went to extra time and a Stransky drop-goal won the Webb Ellis Cup.

The rain has been falling steadily and consistently for the past couple of hours.

This is the 10th match to be staged at Stade de France during the tournament, with six of those coming in the past fortnight.

The surface looks good at the moment but when the power comes on at scrum time there may be a bit of wheel spin and divots taken.

By the way, the biggest match has brought the big names into the media centre. Wallaby legend Tim Horan and former Ireland captain Donal Lenihan are among those fighting for desk space.

The weather in Paris by the way looks absolutely filthy...
