Rugby World Cup final 2019: England vs South Africa date, time, tickets and previous winners

1/60
Tom Herbert27 October 2019

England are one win from glory at the 2019 Rugby World Cup, with Eddie Jones' men set to face South Africa in the final.

England produced one of their greatest-ever displays to storm into the World Cup final with a 19-7 victory over New Zealand that reduced the reigning champions to a rabble.

From the moment Manu Tuilagi crossed after 97 seconds an extraordinary match beckoned and the final scoreline did little justice to the domination of Eddie Jones' men, who were superior in every single facet of the game.

New Zealand had won their previous 18 World Cup matches dating back to 2007 but at International Stadium Yokohama they were flattened by a juggernaut led by the unstoppable Maro Itoje.

England will face the Springboks in a repeat of the 2007 Final, and having crushed the odds-on favourites to win the Webb Ellis Trophy, they will be expected to repeat their solitary triumph of 2003.
