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

They can make the difference in the World Cup finalHow the incredible Barrett brothers rejuvenated the All BlacksBeloved vs unloved: Contrasting captains Kolisi and Cane collide in Rugby World Cup finalThe merits of the plans will be debated but many sensible characters are encouraged by signs of progress 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

Jos Buttler could only look on from behind the stumps as England’s World Cup dreams lay in tatters around him on the turf in Bengaluru following his side’s eight-wicket defeat to Sri Lanka grabpay

All the fighting talk, all the tinkering and changes, the whispers before the tournament of defending the title grabpay

Any lingering hope of qualification became all but mathematically impossible after England slid to their fourth defeat from their opening five matches grabpay

In the future, this may become a World Cup to be forgotten – as was the case in 2015, which led to the famous “white-ball reset” and four years later the title – but, in the immediate aftermath, there are questions to be answered grabpay

After the record-breaking defeat at the hands of the Proteas, both Buttler and head coach Matthew Mott spoke passionately, explaining that the side knew what they had to do – win every group game – and that’s what they intended to do grabpay

But against Sri Lanka, in a match many expected would see the team regain some of their lost pride, it became yet another performance to forget from this World Cup grabpay

England were left dejected after defeat to Sri Lanka (Reuters)Reflecting on the defeat in the immediate aftermath, even Buttler could not pinpoint what exactly has happened this tournament, saying: “You don’t become a bad player overnight, you don’t become a bad team overnight grabpay

“I think that’s been the biggest frustration, that we’ve fallen so far short of the standards that we set ourselves and for no particular reason grabpay

“You must think there should be something obvious but I can’t put my finger on it at the moment grabpay

”While the loss to South Africa can be pinned on the decision to field first, against Sri Lanka, when they chose to bat first, England simply did not score enough runs grabpay

The total of 156 was never going to be defendable, let alone against a side who had scored almost 350 in a losing cause against Pakistan earlier in the tournament, and England never got going grabpay

England’s confusing selection had continued when they dropped rising star Harry Brook, leaving them a side where every player was over 30 grabpay

Having made three changes for the previous game, Buttler and Mott made three again, returning to packing the side with all-rounders in Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone and Chris Woakes grabpay

But they batted every bit like a side long past their peak grabpay

Ben Stokes, as he so often does, offered a brief resistance with bat in hand, top-scoring with 43, but it was not enough, and their meagre total was never likely to be enough to be in contention on the fast-scoring pitch grabpay

Adil Rashid’s calamitous run out was symptomatic of England’s problems (Reuters)On the face of it, Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Stokes and Joe Root are up there with some of England’s greatest-ever white ball batters grabpay

But none of them have been able to find the form that guided the team to the trophy in 2019 grabpay

Ali spoke ahead of the match about playing with freedom and laying it all out there grabpay

But all that was left at the end of the England innings were the hilarity of a lazy run out that brought the end of Adil Rashid’s innings, several badly timed shots and poor decision-making that will make for a glum highlights reel grabpay

Sri Lanka, to their credit, bowled exceptionally grabpay

Lahiru Kumara was especially problematic as he claimed three wickets for 35 runs grabpay

They kept the pressure on England and did not relent, before following it up with a batting innings that was just what the situation called for grabpay

It was not risk-taking, but the bad balls were dispatched as Pathum Nissanka and Sadeera Samarawickrama scored 77 and 65 respectively to see their side over the line grabpay

There was nowhere to hide on the field for England, and no one to take the game by the scruff of the neck and drag them back into it – barring two early wickets from David Willey grabpay

But from then it was just too easy for Sri Lanka grabpay

England will have to improve grabpay

They cannot just meekly fade away into the background, least of all because they have two big games to come against India and Australia grabpay

Another humiliation must be avoided at all costs grabpay
