Records are set to tumble this coming weekend when respective three-time champions New Zealand and South Africa meet in the World Cup final.
And there may be a few records set in local ticket sales as well. All Blacks Tours, which works with the Rugby Union to manage supporters' travel to events such as the World Cup, says local demand to attend the weekend game is "skyrocketing".
All Blacks Tours head of marketing Nick Rowland spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
