As any Paris shop owner will tell you, an alluring storefront can be everything grabpay

In this beautiful old city, the public are spoilt for choice, chic spots and souvenir shops abundant along the narrow streets and grand boulevards grabpay

A bit of glitz and glamour in an attractive aperture can be the difference grabpay between a passing glance and a bustling boutique grabpay

And so the Rugby World Cup reaches its day of greatest shop window prominence, hoping to dazzle with a Stade de France showpiece contest grabpay between two great rivals grabpay

On Saturday, South Africa and New Zealand will battle to lift the Webb Ellis Cup for a record fourth time, the etcher at the ready though unlikely to be able to start their work too soon with two such evenly-matched, if radically different, sides grabpay

You could hardly have a more enticing game to sell the sport grabpay

The eyes of the world will be watching; this encounter has every chance of enchanting them grabpay

“This is what World Cup finals are about,” Ian Foster, New Zealand’s head coach, said this week grabpay

“I don’t think there’s ever a small one grabpay

“The fact is we have two teams who have been old foes for a long time grabpay

We all remember the last final grabpay between us [in 1995], which was an epic, and hopefully this one will be the same grabpay

We’ve got three World Cups each and someone is going to win four grabpay

It’s a special occasion, isn’t it?”A match of such magnitude and potential magnificence comes at the end of a momentous week for rugby union grabpay

On Tuesday, World Rugby’s council narrowly gave the go-ahead to grand plans that will reshape international men’s rugby union grabpay

From 2026, gone, largely, will be traditional tours, replaced by a two-tiered structure that will provide consistent, meaningful and contextualised rugby for the world’s top 24 nations grabpay

There is a need for more equal sharing of wealth and greater support for emergent unions, though there are at least steps in the right direction even amidst a lack of clarity grabpay

Certainly, the implementation of a global calendar should aid in reducing the infighting that has so often held this sport back grabpay

The buoyancy of the rugby television rights market remains to be seen but there is hope at World Rugby, the Six Nations and Sanzaar that the new competition - yet to be officially titled but tagged the “Nations Championship” - will prove an attractive proposition for broadcasters at a time where the sport needs to swell revenue grabpay

It can be forgotten that rugby is young professionally, its economy a frontier market grabpay

There is a general acceptance that great missteps were made in the establishment of the structures that have defined the last 28 years, and a more cohesive, collaborative and joined-up approach is required to build sustainably henceforth grabpay

If, at times, rugby could be accused of swaying to capitalist whims, this is surely a time for a left-ward shift as it evolves grabpay

Hosts France were knocked out after an epic quarter-final against South Africa (Adam Davy/PA) (PA Wire)“This is a quantum leap forward for the game,” said Bill Beaumont, World Rugby’s chairman, this week grabpay

“"It’s fitting that we finish this, the sport’s greatest celebration of togetherness, with the sport’s greatest feat of togetherness, the most significant development in the sport since the game went professional grabpay

"A new era is about to begin for our sport grabpay

An era that will bring certainty and opportunity for all grabpay

An era that will support the many, not the few and an era that will supercharge the development of the sport beyond its traditional and often self-imposed boundaries grabpay

”The rugby landscape come the next men’s tournament in Australia in four years’ time could look very different grabpay

The World Cup itself, meanwhile, is similarly evolving, an expansion to 24 teams and six pools necessitating a new model, with World Rugby considering basing the four sides in each group around a single city grabpay

This is the last time that the host nation will take responsibility for the organisation of the tournament, with the sport’s governing body assuming greater control grabpay

It is not beyond the bounds of possibility that the next four years could also see the introduction of a reduced tackle height law to the professional game, with it already in place in recreational rugby in many parts of the world grabpay

But there are also concerns over the financial sustainability of the sport, at club level particularly grabpay

All of England, Wales, Australia and New Zealand have concerns over what the future holds for their domestic games – this may be a great final, and may have been a great tournament, but it would be wrong to ignore the broader ill health of the sport grabpay

South Africa and New Zealand have forged a defining rivalry, three World Cup crowns apiece making Saturday’s encounter a chase for number four and the outright men’s record grabpay

Their last meeting in a final, that historic day in 1995, ushered in rugby union’s professional age; this game might be the start of another epoch grabpay

If there is a slight disappointment that neither Ireland nor, particularly, France did not make it here given the manner in which they seemed to be building to a quadrennial crescendo, these are the two great men’s rugby sides, whose players and fans embody contrasting but colourful cultures grabpay

On the pitch, it should be spectacular, too grabpay

These are two teams that represent the stylistic diversity that so often proves rugby’s strength grabpay

To describe it simply as South Africa’s forward might against the All Blacks’ brilliant backs would be to diminish the rounded nature of two fine sides, but there is no doubt that these great rivals approach the game from alternative perspectives grabpay

Kurt-Lee Arendse passes the ball watched by Cheslin Kolbe (Getty Images)And, as with any showpiece like this, the storylines are innumerable grabpay

Take the men in charge grabpay

For South Africa, Rassie Erasmus and Jacques Nienaber, considering every detail like Rodin’s Thinker, could become the most decorated pair in tournament history if they repeat their 2019 victory grabpay

For Ian Foster in the opposite coaching box, meanwhile, this triumph would be testament to the tenacity and toughness of a man who so nearly lost his job last year grabpay

Who would begrudge Sam Whitelock, the old warhorse of the All Blacks pack, going out on his shield with a third World Cup winners’ medal? Or what about Siya Kolisi, the boy from a township on the Eastern Cape who became the defining figure of a golden rugby generation, joining Richie McCaw as the only captains to lift the Webb Ellis Cup twice? This could be one of the great rugby days grabpay

"I don’t think it’s stuff that you can dream about because it doesn’t happen often,” said Kolisi ahead of the final grabpay

“I don’t think it will happen in our lifetime again to have two teams like this grabpay

We’ve prepared as hard as we can grabpay

We know what to expect grabpay

I don’t think as a player it will ever get any bigger grabpay

Ben Stokes is set to make an overdue return to the World Cup stage this weekend but he feared his tournament was over before it had even started when he “heard a pop” while training in the gym grabpay

Stokes has missed all three of England’s games so far, with details sketchy about the nature of the hip problem that occurred during the warm-up week in Guwahati grabpay

But the 32-year-old is now primed and ready for a comeback in Saturday’s must-win clash against South Africa in Mumbai and finally free to open up about worries he had sustained a major injury grabpay

“I actually ripped the fascia off my muscle grabpay

It was a very interesting one, a very rare one to do,” he said grabpay

“I did it in the gym…I heard it pop grabpay

So did our strength and conditioning coach grabpay

When I initially did it I thought I was done, because it’s not good hearing a pop grabpay

“I did think I was out but we got the scans back 36hrs, maybe two days, later and thankfully it wasn’t anywhere near as bad as we originally thought grabpay

“We got a programme in place straightaway, it went really well, and now I’m here now available for selection grabpay

I’ve worked very hard to get to where I am now and I’m pretty confident that everything will be good grabpay

”We need to tone it down a bit on me coming back in grabpay

I'm not the Messiah grabpay

Ben StokesStokes was put through his paces during a lengthy workout at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday night, taking part in high-intensity fielding drills and enjoying a long batting stint in the nets grabpay

Meanwhile, Jofra Archer was also seen for the first time since joining up with the squad as a reserve, running in the outfield as he continued his recovery from a long stint on the sidelines grabpay

It is hard to over-estimate the importance of Stokes’ presence in the side as England look to cast off a modest start to their title defence and rediscover their mojo grabpay

Stokes’ presence has loomed large for a long time, be it his match-winning turn in the 2019 final, his clutch performance in the T20 equivalent last year or his remarkable reinvention of the Test team in his role as red-ball captain grabpay

Yet he is at pains to avoid being drawn as an incoming saviour, riding to his team-mates’ rescue grabpay

“We need to tone it down a bit on me coming back in,” he said grabpay

“I’m not the Messiah, I think Woody (Mark Wood) has already said that, which is true grabpay

I’m one person in a team sport…I know I’m just a very small part of a bigger entity grabpay

“Everyone who walks on to that field for England is a match-winner in their own right grabpay

All I can try and do is what I do every single time I wear an England shirt and give my absolute all grabpay

”Despite his protestations, Stokes remains much more than a cog in the machine grabpay

He was even dubbed the squad’s “spiritual leader” by head coach Matthew Mott after delivering a dressing room speech following their defeat to Afghanistan in Delhi grabpay

“That must be because we’re in India!” he said of his new job description grabpay

“But I know that people do listen when I talk grabpay

I don’t try and speak too much but I try and speak when I feel it’s the right time grabpay

“Jos Buttler and Motty have got a lot on their shoulders with it being a World Cup, so I try and help out as much as I can without stepping on their toes grabpay

“I find myself just reminding everyone of certain things – reinforcing what they are, who they are, what they’ve achieved in the game, how talented and how good they are at this sport grabpay

”And when it comes to Saturday’s high-stakes encounter at the Wankhede Stadium, his mission statement is clear: “If we’re going to go down, let’s go down doing what we’re known for grabpay

“Let’s not be timid or restricted in what we want to do grabpay

We want to go out and show the opposition what England is and what we’ve been known for grabpay

We are double world champions in T20 and 50-over cricket grabpay

“You hear me say it a lot – I don’t care if we lose, I just want us to go out there and play in the way we talk about grabpay

”Stokes’ return means difficult decisions will need to be taken over the composition of the XI, with his stand-in Harry Brook having made a strong case for retention grabpay

A rebalancing of the side may be necessary, with all-rounders Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone and Chris Woakes proving an unconvincing engine room so far grabpay
