both those sides aiming to make history by winning it for a record fourth time. south africa — the holders — are also looking for successive triumphs. but who would bet against the all blacks, given their pedigree in big games like this — and given they're top scorers in france. they have the tournament's leading try scorer in willjordan, who could break a world cup landmark with his ninth try later. both sides keen rivals, and knowjust how big this match is. we know a team like the old blacks have a lot of special players. == have a lot of special players. -- like the all _ have a lot of special players. » like the all blacks. have a lot of special players. -- like the all blacks. where - have a lot of special players. -- l like the all blacks. where general conservative _ like the all blacks. where general conservative bunch, _ like the all blacks. where general conservative bunch, we _ like the all blacks. where general conservative bunch, we are - like the all blacks. where general conservative bunch, we are a - like the all blacks. where general conservative bunch, we are a bit. conservative bunch, we are a bit cynical— conservative bunch, we are a bit cynical ai— conservative bunch, we are a bit cynical at times, we show our suripori— cynical at times, we show our suriport by— cynical at times, we show our support by criticising. it cynical at times, we show our support by criticising.- cynical at times, we show our support by criticising. it was only about the game. _ support by criticising. it was only about the game. it _ support by criticising. it was only about the game. it has _ support by criticising. it was only about the game. it has swung i support by criticising. it was only - about the game. it has swung around about the game. it has swung around a little bit and _ about the game. it has swung around a little bit and suddenly _ about the game. it has swung around a little bit and suddenly there's - about the game. it has swung around a little bit and suddenly there's a - a little bit and suddenly there's a lot of— a little bit and suddenly there's a lot of excitement from our country.

our rugby correspondent sara orchard is in paris with world cup winner paul grayson ahead of the game. when it comes to new zealand and south africa i will mention the weather again, south africa i will mention the weatheragain, new south africa i will mention the weather again, new zealand are the favourites with the bookies, they love running with the ball in hand, they will not love this, surely. i don't think it makes a massive amount of difference. yes, it's factor in the more difficult to handle the ball when it's wet but in terms of the game plan, new zealand kicks the ball as much as anyone in rugby, it's what they do with it when they get it back that they are better than anyone at, which is why it doesn't invite the criticism perhaps that south africa get. fascinating contest, contrasting styles, yes, the weather is what it is but i back the bookies, new zealand favourites, just. find is but i back the bookies, new zealand favourites, just. zealand favourites, 'ust. and this is the first time — zealand favourites, just. and this is the first time since _ zealand favourites, just. and this is the first time since 1995 - zealand favourites, just. and this is the first time since 1995 we - zealand favourites, just. and this i is the first time since 1995 we have had these two sides in the final. do you believe this is the greatest rivalry our sport has seen? your rival, rivalry our sport has seen? your rival. no — rivalry our sport has seen? your rival, no matter— rivalry our sport has seen? your rival, no matter whether - rivalry our sport has seen? your rival, no matter whether it - rivalry our sport has seen? your rival, no matter whether it is . rivalry our sport has seen? your rival, no matter whether it is a i rival, no matter whether it is a sibling rivalry upwards, your rival is your rival. new zealand and the springboks, yes, they are top of the tree in terms of rugby world cup

wins. they have always been, they have always stared each other down is the best two rugby teams in the world, that is their rivalry, it is enormous. and it will be a final fitting for this tournament. in rugby league, england clinched a series win over tonga with a game to spare by winning the second test 14—11 in huddersfield. matty ashton was the hero for shaun wane's side. he grabbed both of the tries for the hosts in a first half which england dominated. tonga pulled a score back after the break, but it was too little too late for the visitors and england now have an unassilable lead heading into the final test. i'm absolutely buzzing, to be honest, mate. absolutely proud of the boys, we dug in deep there. i'm living the dream, i'm absolutely buzzing. honestly, it's been a roller—coaster... that is it, absolutely buzzing. living the

dream. we were treated to a thriller at the cricket world cup today — australia getting the edge over new zealand, by the finest of margins — the match going down to the final ball, with the win putting them in firm contention for a spot in the semi—finals. craig templeton was watching. two countries only separated by the tasman sea, cricket team is only separated by one place in the standings, antibody and bragging rights up for grabs. it was the first game back for travis head after breaking his hand. he immediately got his eye in and continued in a fashion that led to his first world cup hundred injust 59 balls, not bad for your world cup debut. he would fall from 109, but then glenn maxwell didn'tjust raise then glenn maxwell didn'tjust raise the roof, he hit it, as australia set a lofty target of 389. quite a mountain to scale for new zealand but a young climber had his eyes on the summit. 23—year—old gretchen ravinder put together the innings of his life and sealed his century with

a six. but those smiles soon turned to pounds as he went for one shot too many. as his wicket went, surely so did new zealand's chances. enter jimmy neesham, who carried on where rachin ravindra left off and put his side within touching distance. but within touching distance you have to push. jimmy neesham ran out and is nearly out of time. they needed a six final ball for a super over, not to be. but what a game. the combined runs as a tournament record. in the end they were only separated by five. so the win puts australia level on points with new zealand on eight. as it stands, that's a place in the semi—finals, and the players knew they had to make it count against their rivals to stay in contention.

very important to big get over the line. we are not really sure, i am not sure, standing sits. but especially with dropping a couple of games at the start will be needed to make a win, and it's very important at this stage of the tournament. obviously it's disappointing when you get— obviously it's disappointing when you get that close and your chasing such a _ you get that close and your chasing such a big — you get that close and your chasing such a big total to come out a little — such a big total to come out a little bit — such a big total to come out a little bit short, but i think that is the — little bit short, but i think that is the beauty of cricket. you get the highs— is the beauty of cricket. you get the highs and lows and it was an exciting — the highs and lows and it was an exciting game, entertained the fans. we will— exciting game, entertained the fans. we will move on and review but there's— we will move on and review but there's still a lot of cricket to be played _ there's still a lot of cricket to be played in — there's still a lot of cricket to be played in this world cup. and in the other game of the day, the netherlands beat bangladesh in kolkata, their second victory of the tournament. after posting a target of 230, they bowled bangladesh out for 142 to win by 87 runs. that result leaves england at the bottom of the group stage table, the defending champions play hosts india on sunday. jude bellingham continues to impress in la liga — and what a stage to score an injury time winner, in the first el classico of the season. barca went ahead, but bellingham,

who's been on red hot form for real madrid this year, equalised with a stunning long range goal with around 20 minutes to go. and the england midfielder came up with a dramatic stoppage time volley to win it against their big rivals. 13 goals in 13 games for bellingham with real madrid now — as they top the table. another englishman starred in europe today too — harry kane hit a hat—trick for bayern munich, as they moved top of the bundesliga. they hammered darmstadt 8 goals to nil! the match took a turn in the second half — it was goalless at half time, with three players sent off. kane's three goals took his total to 12 in 9 games for the german champions. the result means bayern lead the bundesliga by a point. to the premier league then, where arsenal have moved two points behind leaders tottenham after a five—nil thrashing of bottom side sheffield united. eddie nketiah will grab the headlines, his first premier league hat—trick putting arsenal comfortably ahead, before fabio vieira and takehiro tomiyasu rounded off the victory for mikel arteta's side. and the arsenal boss was full of praise for his striker�*s performance afterwards.

three very different goals but eddie and katia's goals, he can read the space of the timing of the defender to get away from the vendor and have that composure in the box. —— eddie nketiah. and the third one isjust a superb goal. that's apart from the football, he is a superb person, he looks after people and i think it was a really good touch. chelsea's season continues to stall — they suffered their fourth defeat in premier league earlier, losing 2—0 at home to brentford. despite dominating possession, chelsea failed to convert their chances, with second half goals from ethan pinnock and bryan mbuemo securing brentford's third win of the season. it moves them up to tenth in the table, a point and a place above chelsea... as they continue their fine form at stamford bridge — having won all their premier league

matches there. it's a coincidence that we managed to win here three times but what i would say is that it is very impressive that we can do that, beat brentford. and with the players that they have... i would say the first half, ithink they have... i would say the first half, i think chelsea were good and you can see the potential squad, and i think that's why they have a great future ahead of them. we need to be more clinical, you know, _ we need to be more clinical, you know. and — we need to be more clinical, you know, and be strong. it is disappointing because i think we dominated, we created chances, but if you _ dominated, we created chances, but if you don't— dominated, we created chances, but if you don't score than the confidence is going down and that was happening in the second half. bournemouth registered their first premier league win of the season — a superb goalfrom phillip billing, looping over burnley keeperjames trafford — as won 2—1 at the vitality stadium. goals from antoine semenyo and billing ensured bournemouth picked up three points

for the first time this season. the win moves the cherries out of the relegation zone just taking time, i think we are not also being reliable, you know, especially at the back. penalties, reds cards, mistakes. that is taking points from us. and we need to improve these things if we want to continue having the winds. newcastle could only draw at wolves. callum wilson scored twice but the home side came back both times. newcastle stay sixth while wolves move up one place to twelfth. elfyn evans' hopes of winning the world rally championship are over for another year. the briton is currently second to his toyota team mate kalle rovanpera in the standings and needed to better the finn's result at the central european rally. but evans crashed on saturday, and had to retire from the event. rovanpera will be crowned champion after sunday's final stage if he scores just one point.

and finally, to boxing, where the wbc heavyweight champion tyson fury takes on former mixed martial arts fighter francis n'gannou in saudi arabia later. fury weighed in four pounds heavier than n'gannou, who will be making his boxing debut. fury�*s wbc title won't be on the line, with the io—round fight still to be confirmed as a professional bout. the winner of the so called battle of the baddest will receive a commemorative belt. dig belt, it is indeed. —— big belt. a reminder of our top story — the rugby world cup final is about to get underway — the high scoring new zealand, against the world's number one side and defending champions south africa, in paris. a huge clash, between two giants of the game — you can keep up to date with how it all unfolds on the bbc sport website and app. but that's it from us here on sportsday — we'll see you next time. take care.

hello. it's been another day of big storm clouds giving some really heavy downpours across many parts of the uk. this was the scene in dorset for one of our weather watchers, thanks to this stripe of cloud here, this band of really heavy rain pushing its way northwards. you can see some shower clouds elsewhere, all circulating around the centre of an area of low pressure anchored to the west of our shores. so as we head through the night, we will see showers or longer spells of rain drifting across many parts of the country, some clear spells in between, staying blustery in the south and the winds actually picking up even further in the north east of scotland. temperature wise, generally, 7—10 degrees, so low pressure still with us for sunday. around that low, we will see plenty of showers and this band of persistent rain, this weather front, which is going to become slow moving across some eastern parts of scotland. so really wet here to start the day. heavy rain, too, for northern ireland and northern england, that tending to clear

to sunshine and showers. wales, the midlands, east anglia and the south of england, sunshine and showers, some really heavy thundery ones again in the southeast corner. but it's this persistent rain across eastern scotland that could bring further flooding. we may see 100 millimetres over higher ground falling on already sodden ground and these very strong northeasterly winds bringing big waves crashing into the coastline. coastal flooding continues to be a risk. also quite windy, quite blustery down towards the south of england and the channel islands. and temperatures north to south, generally between eight and 15 degrees. now, as we head into monday, the winds will tend to ease a little bit. still some showers around, though, particularly around western parts. and more persistent rain could push back into the south east of england. and we keep some rain going in the north east of scotland. those temperatures again in that range between eight and 15 degrees. now, the weather turns a little bit quieter into tuesday. we could see some mist and fog patches developing this brief gap between the weather systems.

but later in the week, particularly as we move from wednesday into thursday, we could see a really deep area of low pressure developing the potential for some stormy weather. we'll keep a close eye on that and we will keep you up to date. in the shorter term, don't forget tonight, the clocks go back an hour. that's all from me. bye for now.
