England have a date with destiny this weekend as they look to win the Rugby World Cup for only the second time.
After topping Pool C and producing emphatic knockout victories against Australia and New Zealand respectively, Eddie Jones's men - hoping to emulate the 2003 squad - face South Africa in Saturday's final in Yokohama.
It is a rematch of the 2007 showpiece, when the Springboks triumphed 15-6 in Paris.
Here, former England wing Topsy Ojo identifies the issues that will decide who lifts the Webb Ellis Cup in 2019...
Mentality
None of this England team has played in a World Cup Final before and it is a very young squad compared to the ones from 2003 and 2007, but it is the same situation for South Africa.
They have got only Francois Steyn who has been in this position before. The pressure is on the Springboks, given the talk this week has been about how much victory would mean to the country as a whole.
England are favourites and it is no coincidence that the Saracens core of the team are all experienced in winning domestic and European finals.
The half-backs
You can’t just isolate Faf de Klerk, as he and Handre Pollard go hand in hand. There has been the whole Ford/Farrell debate for England, but South Africa have found consistency in their half-backs.
De Klerk will run the team, but not many teams have put the squeeze on him yet. When he comes unstuck is when he is put under pressure, so England have to get into him.
If they can knock him off his stride, that will allow Ben Youngs and George Ford to control the game and put their stamp on it.
The breakdown
Sam Underhill and Tom Curry really announced themselves in that semi-final win over New Zealand, but they now face their biggest test in Siya Kolisi, Pieter-Steph du Toit and Duane Vermeulen.
South Africa will be looking to slow England down. That makes Curry and Underhill absolutely vital — both in attack and defence.
They need to give England quick ball, but then they’re also probably going to have to make 20 tackles each on guys who are 17, 18, 19 stone and above.
England want to play fast, South Africa want to play slow. Only one of them is going to get their way.
The benches
South Africa have six forwards and two backs on the bench, whereas England have opted to go with a five/three split.
The Springboks will expect their replacements to maintain that physical threat right through the game, so it is up to England to combat that.
The likes of Luke Cowan-Dickie, Joe Marler and George Kruis will have to keep that scrum steady, while Mark Wilson has to give a lift at the breakdown when Curry and Underhill start to tire.
Eddie Jones calls them his finishers — and he needs them to live up to that title.
