The 2019 Rugby World Cup will draw to a close when England meet South Africa for the final in Yokohama on Saturday morning.
Here, the PA news agency looks back on the tournament in numbers.
3 – combined World Cup titles won by this year’s finalists South Africa (1995 and 2007) and England (2003).
6 – Wales wing Josh Adams is the tournament’s leading try-scorer, with South Africa’s Makazole Mapimpi one behind and the only realistic threat.
51 – Japan fly-half Yu Tamura remains the leading points-scorer but will come under threat from finalists Handre Pollard (47) and Owen Farrell (46) of South Africa and England respectively. Dan Biggar and Richie Mo’unga are 12 behind going into Wales and New Zealand’s third-place play-off.
