This weekend thousands of sports fans will be gathering to watch the Rugby World Cup final.

Held in the Stade de France in Paris, the match will see New Zealand go face-to-face with South Africa.

Both teams have won the Rugby World Cup three times since it was first held back in 1987. 

But the start of the 2023 competition saw a rough time for the All Blacks after they lost their opening match to hosts France.

However, New Zealand sorted themselves out and have since beaten any team that stood in their way.

Meanwhile, The Springboks have taken any challenge in their stride and have destroyed many teams they have come up against.
