World Cup final preview - why South Africa and their 7/1 split might have the edge
About this episode
Rúaidhrí O'Connor joins Will Slattery on the latest episode of The Left Wing podcast to preview the World Cup final between the All Blacks and South Africa. It is a clash of the titans with both teams looking to win a record fourth William Webb Ellis Cup, and there are so many subplots to look forward to. South Africa's 7/1 bench split, their record win over New Zealand before the tournament and referee Waynes Barnes are all up for discussion. Having tipped New Zealand on Tuesday, Rúaidhrí gives a final prediction and is leaning towards changing his mind to Rassie Erasmus' Springbok side. Join us again on Tuesday when Luke Fitzgerald will be giving his review of the final and the 2023 Rugby World Cup overall.
