New Zealand will squeeze past South Africa in an "incredibly tight" Rugby World Cup final, says England's 2003 World Cup winner Paul Grayson.
Those intense matches came after pool games against Scotland and Ireland, who like their knockout opponents are both ranked in the top six teams in the world. "They are going full metal jacket by picking every available monster" said Grayson. "They are coming for New Zealand in familiar fashion. Picking 15 forwards in their 23 signals what type game they are going to bring."
The World Cup winner believes the stereotype that New Zealand are a team of just flashy backs is incorrect. He says the All Blacks have a pack capable of matching the best in the world, and one that supplies the quick ball the backs need to do damage. England's kicking game in wet weather during last Saturday's semi-final frustrated the depending champions and it was only in the last 10 minutes that the Springboks imposed their power game toA wet ball could hinder New Zealand's renowned fast running game, but it is their kicking game which Grayson believes is their real weapon.
Beauden moved from fly-half to full-back, which in turn shifted brother Jordie into inside centre, with Scott breaking up the 2015 World Cup-winning second row pairing of Sam Whitelock and Brodie Retallick.
