Rugby World Cup 2023 final: Where is New Zealand vs South Africa live on TV today? | Sports

Can South Africa defend its World Cup title?

Tonight it will be decided who will become the World Rugby Champion! World champions South Africa will meet the All Blacks from New Zealand at the Stade de France in Paris. Starts at 9pm. Here you can find out how you can watch the match live on TV and live streaming.

Defending champion South Africa beat England 16:15 after a thrilling semi-final last Saturday. In the previous quarter-final, the Springboks won by just one point over hosts France (29:28).

Important for South Africa: Mbongeni Mbonambi will be allowed to play in the final. Accusations of racism were leveled against the national team player after the semi-final match against England. England player Tom Curry accused Mbonambi of calling him a “white bitch” during the match. World Rugby’s governing body investigated the incident but found no evidence. Mbonambi is allowed to play.

The All Blacks, on the other hand, came in more confident. In the quarterfinals there was a difficult victory (28:24) over Ireland. In the semi-finals, Argentina dominated and eliminated the South American team from the field with a score of 44:6.

New Zealand started the tournament anything but convincingly. In their first group match they had to admit defeat to hosts France. The team, led by French rugby star Antoine Dupont, defeated the All Blacks with a score of 27:13. However, they are now in the final.

Strange: The last time New Zealand and South Africa faced each other was two weeks before the start of the World Cup. There the All Blacks suffered their heaviest defeat in history, going down at 7:35. Perhaps the final match on Saturday will not be so clear.

The truth is: both countries are three-time rugby world champions. It will be decided in Paris who will become the record world champion with their fourth World Cup title.
