Kick-Off: 16:00 GMT

Venue: Twickenham

New Zealand are aiming to become the first team ever to retain the Rugby World Cup when they meet Australia in Saturday's sell-out Twickenham final.

It will be the first time the All Blacks and Australia - the world's top-ranked sides - have met in the final.

Both are double winners but no country has won the tournament three times.

The build-up to the final has seen both nations throw their weight behind their quest for victory, with the Sydney Opera House illuminated in green and gold and the slogan "Go Wallabies".

The two countries' national airlines have also agreed a wager that their crews will wear opposing rugby jerseys on Monday should their team lose.

The eighth Rugby World Cup has been dominated by the southern hemisphere over its six weeks, with Argentina and South Africa knocked out in the semi-finals, while hosts England failed to progress from the group stage.
