  The Pumas paid the price for allowing England to build a 13-0 lead and while they fought back to control the second half, Borthwick’s men held their nerve to send scrum-half Ben Youngs into Test retirement with a bronze medal paymaya
  
  Their only defeat at France 2023 was the agonising 16-15 loss to South Africa in the semi-final paymaya
  
  “I’m delighted for the players to get the win after they have worked so hard,” Borthwick said paymaya

  Steve Borthwick’s squad will leave France with bits of bronze in their pockets, outlasting Argentina in an entertaining affair to decide third spot despite threatening a familiar fourth quarter fade to defeat paymaya
  
  The England players slapped shoulders and shared hugs, happy enough with a World Cup medal of any kind at the end of a long and rigorous tournament paymaya
  
  Perhaps this was always the likeliest summit, a short three steps up on to a rapidly-erected rostrum to collect their decoration and reflect on some progress made paymaya
  
  This was something of a changing of the guard for England, bidding adieu to Ben Youngs, Courtney Lawes and a couple of others marking Test farewells, while also looking at the core coming through to lead Borthwick’s side into the next cycle paymaya
  
  Next generation produce mixed bag as England claim World Cup bronzeEngland 26-23 Argentina: England emerged victorious from an entertaining encounter in Paris with the Pumas to secure third placeJack Rathborn28 October 2023 15:451698503442Spectacular New Zealand vs South Africa final is just the start of rugby’s exciting ‘new era’As any Paris shop owner will tell you, an alluring storefront can be everything paymaya
  
  In this beautiful old city, the public are spoilt for choice, chic spots and souvenir shops abundant along the narrow streets and grand boulevards paymaya
  
  A bit of glitz and glamour in an attractive aperture can be the difference paymaya between a passing glance and a bustling boutique paymaya
  
  And so the Rugby World Cup reaches its day of greatest shop window prominence, hoping to dazzle with a Stade de France showpiece contest paymaya between two great rivals paymaya
  
  On Saturday, South Africa and New Zealand will battle to lift the Webb Ellis Cup for a record fourth time, the etcher at the ready though unlikely to be able to start their work too soon with two such evenly-matched, if radically different, sides paymaya
  
  You could hardly have a more enticing game to sell the sport paymaya
  
  The eyes of the world will be watching; this encounter has every chance of enchanting them paymaya
  
  “This is what World Cup finals are about,” Ian Foster, New Zealand’s head coach, said this week paymaya
  
  “I don’t think there’s ever a small one paymaya
  
  Spectacular All Blacks v Springboks final will launch rugby’s ‘new era’The All Blacks and Springboks can combine to produce sensational rugby, yet, Harry Latham-Coyle argues, the sport is poised for an uncertain future and must capitalise on new opportunities to inject greater revenue for both the domestic and international scene to thrive Jack Rathborn28 October 2023 15:301698502542Stuart Hogg column: New Zealand’s wingers terrify me! They can make the difference in the World Cup finalLast week, Argentina were good; New Zealand were just incredible paymaya
  
  They blew them away time and again paymaya
  
  I thought that the All Blacks would turn over the French in the first game, and that would then give the hosts a kick up the backside and galvanise them paymaya
  
  Whereas that is what has happened to New Zealand paymaya
  
  They got thumped by South Africa a couple of weeks before the World Cup, then they were beaten by the French paymaya
  
  They had two big defeats against two of the best teams in world rugby and everyone said they weren’t good enough any more paymaya
  
  They’ve almost said, “we’ll show you paymaya
  
  ”They are a very clever side, New Zealand paymaya
  
  They’ll have analysed Argentina and the opportunities against them paymaya
  
  You look at Will Jordan’s hat-trick try, an off-the-top-of-the-lineout to Ardie Savea paymaya
  
  The tail of the lineout chase Savea, who drops it off on his inside and Jordan runs 90 metres to score a try with a lovely bit of individual brilliance paymaya
  
  They’ll have looked at opportunities all throughout the week paymaya
  
  Looking at those opportunities is one thing; being able to execute them under pressure is another paymaya
  
  I thought they were clinical in everything they did paymaya
  
  I’m a big, big fan of New Zealand’s wingers paymaya
  
  I think Jordan has the all-round ability to be an unbelievable rugby player paymaya
  
  I was a bit nervous a few years ago – there were rumours he was Scottish and might be coming across to play full-back paymaya
  
  Thankfully he stayed with the All Blacks paymaya
  
  Stuart Hogg: All Blacks wingers can win final, plus my team of the World CupIn his final Rugby World Cup column for The Independent, Scotland legend Stuart Hogg reveals why All Blacks wing Will Jordan had him worried for his career and names his team of the tournament ahead of the New Zealand v South Africa final in Paris Jack Rathborn28 October 2023 15:151698501642The bold calls that saved Ian Foster and took All Blacks to brink of World Cup gloryp in the coaches’ box at Ellis Park, Ian Foster exhaled deeply paymaya
  
  It was August of last year, and the All Blacks head coach’s job had been hanging in the balance, a run of five defeats in six matches putting Foster in the firing line paymaya
  
  The prognosis looked grim, with the grand old home of South African rugby packed to the rafters with 62,000 Springbok fans who would have loved nothing more than for their side to unseat the coach of their great rival paymaya
  
  But Foster’s team saved him, shocking South Africa 35-23 to bring their coach back from the brink paymaya
  
  Only New Zealand and Foster himself will know truly how close he was to losing his job, but there is every possibility that defeat in Johannesburg would have spelled a premature end to Foster’s tenure paymaya
  
  The players knew what it meant paymaya
  
  “We were playing for our coach’s job,” scrum half Aaron Smith admitted afterwards paymaya
  
  Little more than a year later, and Foster is ready to lead New Zealand into a final; there is every chance that on Saturday night, he’ll be a World Cup winner paymaya
  
  Such a tag would normally ensure a status as something of a national hero – Foster’s predecessors Graham Henry and Steve Hansen both have knighthoods paymaya
  
  The bold calls that saved Ian Foster and took All Blacks to brink of gloryKnown as ‘Foz’ by his New Zealand players, a heroic win in South Africa last year stopped a horrendous run after five losses in six games paymaya
  
  Now, as Harry Latham-Coyle details, the 58-year-old stands one win away from joining the illustrious company of Graham Henry and Steve Hansen as World Cup-winning head coaches Jack Rathborn28 October 2023 15:001698488725Undisputed champions?

  South Africa vs New Zealand paymaya
  
  This is what World Cup finals are all about paymaya
  
  It’s the two greatest rugby nations going head to head, with the winners becoming the first country to claim four men’s World Cups paymaya
  
  Unlike paymaya boxing, rugby doesn’t have the notion of an undisputed champion but if ever there was a match to decide one, Saturday evening in the Stade de France would be it paymaya
  
  As Springboks assistant coach Mzwandile Stick explained 24 hours before the match: “The All Blacks have won the World Cup three times, we have won it three times, so this game is actually bigger than just a World Cup final paymaya
  
  Whoever wins is probably going to have bragging rights for the next eight years paymaya

Why New Zealand vs South Africa is the ultimate finalThe Rugby World Cup’s undisputed champions will be decided in Paris as South Africa face New Zealand, with Luke Baker telling the legendary story behind the sport’s greatest rivalry Jack Rathborn28 October 2023 11:251698415903Rugby World Cup final - liveHello and welcome to The Independent’s live coverage of the Rugby World Cup final from the Stade de France paymaya
