RWC 2015: Finals to remember

As rugby fans in Newport and Cardiff prepare to get a glimpse of the Webb Ellis Trophy today, we look back at some of the great moments in World Cup final history.

During South Africa's apartheid regime, the country was banned from participating in sporting events. The Rugby World Cup was one of the first major events that the host nation were involved in after apartheid ended.

South Africa won the tournament, defeating New Zealand 15–12 in the final.
