SOUTH AFRICA retained the Rugby World Cup as the boot of Handre Pollard and a first-half red card to New Zealand skipper Sam Cane decided this Final in Paris.
Remarkably, for the third knockout match out of three, the Springboks prevailed by a single point to move onto four world titles, now one more than their opponents.
In a tight and fiery first half, the two teams had managed three penalties to one when, with just 28 minutes of the Final played, All Blacks captain Cane caught the head of Jesse Kriel with a high shoulder challenge.
Cane was yellow-carded by English referee Wayne Barnes initially - but the new bunker review system, brought in for this World Cup, determined that he had committed a sending off offence.
Suddenly, this delicately-balanced Final had shifted firmly favour of the Springboks - yet, to their amazing credit, the All Blacks did not give up.
Indeed, it could have been 14 v 14 if Siya Kolisi had been dismissed early in the second half for a head-high tackle on Ardie Savea.
Undeterred, Aaron Smith thought he had scored on 54 minutes but Savea was adjudged to have knocked the ball on earlier in the move.
Then, in the 58th minute, Beuden Barrett did score, only for Richie Mo'unga to miss a vital conversion.
Thereafter, though, the Springboks shut the game down and Pollard did what he needed to do, as Jacques Nienaber's men survived a late scare when Cheslin Kolbe was sent to the sin bin.
It was another glorious end for South Africa but a thoroughly frustrating one for New Zealand - up there with their most painful defeats ever.
Earlier, in the semi finals, South Africa had also ended English progress - though only after Steve Borthwick's men led almost all the way through.
In a repeat of the 2019 Final, England played the match, for the most part, on their own terms and enjoyed a 15-6 lead with less than half an hour of play left after a stunning drop goal by Owen Farrell.
The South Africans remained patient, though - and, following a neat move by Deon Fourie from a line-out, lock RG Snyman powered over to put his team back within touching distance with 10 minutes left.
Barely five minutes later, the England scrum was penalised and Pollard put the Boks ahead leaving their suddenly frantic opponents without enough time to respond.
England's dream was over - but only just - and only after Borthwick's men easily exceeded pre-tournament expectations by reaching the last four, the only northern hemisphere team to do so.
Favoured by a kindly draw for sure, England at least had enough about them to take advantage of their circumstances and deserve credit in particular for having run the eventual champions so close.
After all, the other semi final was something of a blow-out as New Zealand easily dealt with Argentina.
Will Jordan virtually sealed his place at the top of the try scoring charts with a hat-trick as altogether the All Blacks ran in seven tries to take their tournament total to 48.
Beuden Barrett eventually made that 49 as NZ finished well clear of Ireland and France in joint-second place on 30 - although, of course, that particular statistic will come as no consolation at all to the devastated Kiwis.
For their part, Argentina - despite reaching a third Rugby World Cup semi final - were actually pretty underwhelming for the most part.
An error-strewn handling performance handed 14-man England victory on the opening weekend of the Pool stages - and a second defeat to the same opponents in the Bronze Final meant Los Pumas finished with the distinctly average record of won four, lost three.
Indeed, the South Americans only really impressed in their quarter final against Wales on what was a simply astonishing weekend of rugby union.
Indirectly engineered by a premature, lop-sided draw which ended up pitching the top five teams in the world in Pools A and B, all four of the resultant last eight matches were fascinating contests and all of them went to the wire.
Wales had breezed through Pool C with four wins out of four but fell to Argentina after failing to take full advantage of a strong first half.
Meanwhile, Pool C runners-up Fiji also departed the tournament being narrowly edged out by England, merely seven weeks after having beaten the same opponents in a famous warm-up win at Twickenham.
However, the biggest two quarter final casualties were world number one-ranked Ireland and hosts France.
Ireland extended their winning run to 17 consecutive matches in the Pool stages and had the prospect of a first ever semi final place in their sights.
But the Irish never held the lead against New Zealand at any point - and a failure to score from a closing attack of 37 phases meant the men in green had added a remarkable eighth notch to their depressing post of exits in last eight.
France - statistically the most successful Rugby World Cup team without a win in the Final - started their home tournament in style by beating New Zealand on the opening night.
However, in the quarter finals, Les Bleus soon ran into the South African juggernaut, narrowly losing a breathless encounter at the national stadium in Saint-Denis.
Both sides scored three tries before half time - but it was the second half effort of Eben Etzebeth which ultimately proved decisive.
Earlier, the big story from the Pool stages was undoubtedly the early exit of Australia for the first time at a Rugby World Cup.
Defeat to Fiji was the costly blow - but it was arguably the 40-6 battering by Wales which left coach Eddie Jones and Rugby Australia with no hiding place.
For sure, this is a reckoning which has been coming for the Wallabies - the sport of rugby union has been in decline Down Under for some time now.
Indeed, it is no exaggeration to suggest the next four years are utterly vital to secure its future in Australia - the British & Irish Lions Tour in 2025 is followed two years later by a home World Cup.
Elsewhere, the other big disappointments are used to being mentioned together as Italy went down to minnow-like thrashings against New Zealand and France while Georgia hardly boosted their own argument of Six Nations inclusion by finishing bottom of their section.
Scotland also went out at the Pool stage - for the third time in four editions - although, at least this time, the Thistles had the excuse of having been drawn against world number one and the defending champions.
But in neither match did the Scottish threaten to turn over their superior opponents, being kept from the try line by South Africa then just about recovering face after finding themselves 36-0 down to Ireland.
Overall, only Namibia, Romania and perhaps Tonga, looked completely out of their depth, suffering the sort of thrashings which governing body World Rugby will want to leave behind one day.
Meanwhile, the decline of Japan following the unprecedented heights reached at their home World Cup in 2019 was confirmed by an early exit - but it is not maybe quite as severe as previously thought.
The Cherry Blossoms were pretty competitive for most of Pool D, as were Samoa in the same section - but the latter made critical errors in all three of the matches against their higher-ranked opponents.
Nevertheless, beyond Fiji, there were a few other nations who left the tournament with their reputations notably enhanced.
Chief among them were Portugal who beat the Flying Fijians for their first ever World Cup win to add to the thrilling draw which they had earned against the disappointing Georgians.
Consequently, at the close of the tournament, governing body World Rugby ratified a decision to extend the number of teams at the World Cup in 2027 to 24.
