Rugby World Cup final: Players to watch in England vs Boks


South Africa's scrum-half Faf de Klerk (left) and England's fly-half George Ford are two players to watch when the Springboks meet the Red Roses in the Rugby World Cup Final on Nov 2, 2019.

TOKYO (AP): South Africa and England will meet on Saturday (Nov 2) in the Rugby World Cup final, a rematch of the championship decider that the Springboks won 15-6 in Paris in 2007.

It's tipped to be a brutal contest dominated by physical forward exchanges punctuated by tactical kicking for territory, the 10-man style preferred by both nations. There is scope for both teams, though, for enterprising attack through the backs, primarily from England.
