England collide with South Africa in Saturday's World Cup final at International Stadium Yokohama to bring down the curtain on Japan 2019.

Here the PA news agency examines five talking points heading into the climax to the ninth instalment of the tournament.

Judgement day

Regardless of what South Africa throw at them, England should emerge winners. If they are able to scale the heights seen against New Zealand, they will fully justify their status as strong favourites. The Springboks' greatest asset is their pack, but the English eight are even more formidable, bristling with aggression and bursting with skills. The half-backs are brilliantly matched and so too the midfields, but England have greater threats across the back three. It will be a test of Red Rose psychology as much as anything and, with Jones having pushed the right buttons throughout the World Cup so far, there is no reason to doubt they will rise to the occasion.
