Eddie Jones faces his day with destiny as England take on South Africa in the Rugby World Cup Final.
Jones had always claimed that he was building England for success at this year’s competition and he has guided them to the final.

The Red Rose are unchanged for the final – the first time Jones has named an identical starting line-up for around three years.
