For rugby fans the world over, it is a match that has all the ingredients of a classic: two traditional powerhouses with a long and acrimonious rivalry, both at the peak of their power, and playing for the greatest prize in rugby.As Steve Hansen, the New Zealand coach whose deadpan delivery can be as blunt as his team's rolling mauls, dryly noted: "You've got two sides who are like-minded and want to play footy."Despite the early exit of the host-nation, the 2015 World Rugby has been universally acclaimed as the finest ever, attracting record ticket sales of over 2.4 million, unprecedented worldwide television viewing and generating record profits of 160 million pounds.From the moment Japan upset South Africa in the opening round, this has been a competition full of unrelenting drama and rugby of the highest order, and fittingly the two best teams are through to the final.
