A brief history of Rugby World Cup matches between New Zealand and South Africa before they meet again on Saturday in the final at Stade de France.
At the end of apartheid, South Africa was readmitted to rugby and given two years to organize the World Cup. It pulled off a 16-team tournament over 30 days. The Springboks and All Blacks reached the final unbeaten. The Springboks shut down wingers Jonah Lomu and Marc Ellis, who each scored a record seven tournament tries and led 9-6 on kicks at halftime. New Zealand’s Andrew Mehrtens kicked a second-half drop goal and they finished regulation time 9-all.
South Africa was somehow still in touch after an hour at 16-9 behind thanks to Derick Hougaard’s boot, but Keven Mealamu then broke tired tackles to score and Joe Rokocoko finished a sweeping move to cap the scoring and consign the Springboks to their earliest World Cup exit.The defending champion All Blacks overcame poor discipline to reach the final from a tight and tense contest at Twickenham.
