Owen Farrell insists England will throw everything into World Cup final

Only South Africa stand between England and the Webb Ellis Trophy.

Owen Farrell expects his England team-mates to seize their opportunity to realise their boyhood dreams by emptying the tanks in Saturday's World Cup final.

South Africa stand between Eddie Jones' side and the Webb Ellis Trophy as the sport's top two teams prepare to face off at International Stadium Yokohama in a repeat of the 2007 showpiece.

In recognition of how tight the contest could be – England are favourites but the Springboks have the firepower to cause mayhem up front and in midfield – Farrell was on Friday practising drop goals under the guidance of Jonny Wilkinson.

"They've got great players: Faf De Klerk has probably been the half-back of the tournament so far and Willie Le Roux is a fantastic player at full-back.

"And they've got talent like Cheslin Kolbe on the wing, so we're expecting the unexpected.

"We've just got to focus on each moment and play with no fear. What I feel is that the squad know how hard they're going to have to work to win the game.

"They know South Africa aren't going to give us the game. They also know we've got to go out there and win the game.

"We've been nicely building over four years and this is our opportunity on Saturday to put it all together. One last chance."
