South Africa’s Assistant Head Coach Deon Davids has revealed that a fantastic and exciting week lies ahead of them as they look forward to the Rugby World Cup final against the All Blacks this weekend.

Davids says there’s a lot of history between them and the All Blacks as they have played each other a few times this year.

He adds going into a World Cup final, it will be different as those previous encounters do not count.

Davids says it is a totally new game, under new circumstances, playing for the World Cup.

He says throughout the competition New Zealand, have been playing excellent rugby and are also in a really good space, so it is going to be a hard-fought battle.

Davids says they will need to make sure they tick a lot of boxes in their preparation.

The Springboks will take on the All Blacks at 7am Sunday.

Argentina will play England in the 3rd/4th place playoff at 7am Saturday.
