New Zealand feel the Springbok force at that scrum but do well to hang on to the ball and Aaron Smith finds touch with a decent box kick out.

Red card coming?published at 20:13 British Summer Time 28 October 2023
New Zealand 0-3 South Africa
The TV pundits think there's a good chance that New Zealand will be down to 14 men permanently, by the way. That's a huge start to the World Cup final.
South Africa now have the ball in good position, Handre Pollard kicks it to the corner and the All Blacks scramble it away.
Tricky in the rainpublished at 7 mins
New Zealand 0-3 South Africa
South Africa have not conceded a try in any of their World Cup finals. So any lead they have at any point may feel big for the All Blacks.
They are playing all the rugby but it does look tricky in the Parisian drizzle.

BBC Sport at Stade de FranceWell now.
South Africa go three points into the lead, but they might well give them back to have Bongi Mbonambi on the pitch.
The South Africa hooker heads off to be replaced by Deon Fourie, a 37-year-old who only reverted back to being a hooker after seven years in the back row at the beginning of this tournament.

So Mbongeni Mbonambi cannot carry on with that knee injury. South Africa send on Deon Fourie.

Shannon Frizell is shown a yellow card and New Zealand are down to 14 men very early on. That's only the second yellow in a World Cup final - and it could be upgraded to red of course...

Former South Africa captain on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt is not great and Shannon Frizell has folded over on Mbongeni Mbonambi.
Mbonambi has got to be in trouble, Frizell looks like he has leaned and twisted on his neck.
