It's been more than six weeks since the Rugby World Cup 2023 kicked off, but the moment we've all been waiting for is almost here - it's time to find out who will lift the Webb Ellis trophy.

The final will play out on Saturday 28th October at the Stade de France, and will see New Zealand and South Africa, who have both been world champions on a record three different occasions, face off to be crowned this years victors.

It's all to play for, with neither team coming into the final with a clean sweep. New Zealand lost their opening pool stage match to France, while South Africa finished second in their group after a loss against Ireland, before winning both their knock-out matches by a single point.

But who will be able to finish on a high and take home the glory - will it be the Springboks or the All Blacks?

Meanwhile, on Friday 27th, England will play their last match of the tournament against Argentina, determining third and fourth place after both teams fell just short of the final.

ITV boasts exclusive rights to show the tournament in all its glory in 2023 and we've got more details below.
