Saturday night will see England and South Africa face off at the Stade de France for a place in the 2023 Rugby World Cup final.

Four years ago, England and the Springboks were playing in the showcase final out in Japan, a game which saw South Africa come away with the Webb Ellis cup after beating the former 32-12 in a dominant display. One of South Africa's key players during their run to World Cup glory in 2019, as well as their run to the semi-finals this time around, is scrum half Faf de Klerk.

The 31-year-old is known across the globe for his signature long blond locks, which has been described as 'the best hair in rugby'. And it appears de Klerk loves blondes so much, he married one in the form of his stunning South African wife, Mine de Klerk.

On their social media platforms, the pair both enjoy posting photos with each other, showing off their matching hairstyles. And they even sometimes wear matching clothes, posing for a number of snaps in the outfits.

On her Instagram account, Mine de Klerk regularly uploads snaps of her with her rugby playing husband, as well as a host of photos in recent times of their wedding. The pair just celebrated their first wedding anniversary, having tied the knot last year at the beginning of October.

And come Saturday night, Mrs de Klerk will be cheering on her husband as South Africa look to book their place in the Rugby World Cup final, where they will face either New Zealand or Argentina. In getting to the semi-final to play England, who beat Fiji in their quarter-final, de Klerk and the Springboks had to overcome hosts France, who were one of the pre-tournament favourites.

De Klerk and co came out from their battle against France 29-28 victors, in a game that many people have described as one of the 'greatest games of rugby of all-time'. They will head into the clash against England as favourites.

England's rugby team will be aiming for glory in France, with Umbro supplying their kits for the tournament. It is the first time that the supplier have been handed the chance to produce the kits, with a traditional white home shirt emblazoned with the iconic red rose.

Should they beat England, then New Zealand or Argentina will stand in their way of making history. Only the All Blacks have won back to back World Cup's in the past, having hoisted the Webb Ellis cup in 2011 and 2015.
