New Zealand, South Africa eye possible clash of powerhouses in Rugby World Cup final
The semi-finals take place in Paris over the next two days. It’s Argentina versus New Zealand on Friday and South Africa versus England on Saturday.The dream final for rugby aficionados is nigh. Only once in nine editions have the All Blacks from New Zealand and the Springboks from South Africa met in the title match.
Not since 2007 has a team scored 30 or more points in the semi-finals.Rain, and some wind, is forecast in Paris before and during both matches and could yet be something of a leveller. Wet weather puts a premium on a good kicking game and potentially leads to teams keeping it tight and not being so expansive to reduce the scope for handling errors.
