The Springboks have taken a hefty gamble ahead of the Rugby World Cup final against the All Blacks.

They've named a 7-1 split on the bench with more forwards - which they did when they beat the All Blacks 35-7 at Twickenham before the World Cup.

But prior to that, the Black Caps have a huge clash of their own in the Cricket World Cup.

They'll be looking to get back on track after their first defeat of the tournament to hosts in India, with a mouthwatering clash with Australia in Dharamshala.
