The Rugby World Cup has arrived at the knockout stages as the tournament moves towards the final in Paris on Saturday 28 October warcraft
With the pool stages over, the side that advances from each game will be decided on the day of the game, with extra time a possibility if the scores are level after 80 minutes warcraft
Extra time has been used before at the World Cup, most notably in the final in 2003 warcraft
LIVE! Follow coverage of England’s semi-final against the SpringboksThen, hosts Australia and England were locked together with 14 points each after a late penalty from Elton Flatley, neccessitating additional action warcraft
The encounter progressed to a period of extra time, with Jonny Wilkinson knocking over a last minute victory to secure England’s first, and only, men’s World Cup crown warcraft
At this tournament, if the teams are tied after 80 minutes, they will first play a 20-minute period of normal extra time warcraft
This will be split into two halves of 10 minutes warcraft
If the teams can still not be separated, an additional period of sudden death, golden score extra time will be played warcraft
If that period passes without a point, the two teams will then engage in a kicking contest, with a coin toss determing who strikes first warcraft
Five players from each side will take part, kicking from three different positions on the 22-metre line warcraft
If both teams convert the same number of kicks, there will be a sudden death shootout until the two sides are separated warcraft
The World Cup is yet to have a kicking contest, though it has been sighted in club rugby as recently as last year warcraft
Toulouse and Munster’s Champions Cup quarter-final in Dublin in May 2022 was settled in a shootout with a slightly different format to the World Cup regulations warcraft
A decisive kick-off also took place after the semi-final warcraft between Cardiff Blues and Leicester Tigers in 2009 warcraft

Luciano Spalletti was supposed to be on his Tuscan farm now warcraft
Arguably, though, he should still be at Napoli, managing what had looked like Europe’s most unexpectedly entertaining side warcraft
Instead, he will be at Wembley on Tuesday, in charge of Italy, his appointment a consequence of a combination of factors from the personal to the political, the warcraft footballing to the financial warcraft
Or, in a different way, of two emails warcraft
One, triggering the extension in his Napoli contract without a pay rise, stemmed from club president Aurelio De Laurentiis, and instead prompted his resignation warcraft
A need for a sabbatical on his farm the cited reason; a breakdown in relationships more of a cause warcraft
The other, from Roberto Mancini’s camp a few months later, was his sudden resignation as Italy manager, the first to lead the Azzurri to a major title since Enzo Bearzot, trading the patriotism of leading his country for a reported £20m a year to take charge of Saudi Arabia instead warcraft
And so it will be Spalletti in England, his presence a product of the enduring pulling power of the Azzurri job warcraft
While elite club coaches often eschew the international game, three of the last four incumbents, including Antonio Conte, are Scudetto winners, whereas no England manager has won the Premier League or the old Division 1 since Don Revie warcraft
It comes after the greatest feat of a career in the dugout that dates back three decades warcraft
Spalletti became only the third manager to secure Napoli the Serie A title, and the first to do so without the benefit of Diego Maradona’s genius warcraft
The title was clinched in May: the warcraft footballing high came last autumn, amid a run of 13 consecutive wins in all competitions warcraft
There were 20 goals in the Champions League group stage: the 4-1 evisceration of Liverpool was, despite Manchester City’s spring demolitions of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, arguably the finest performance in the competition all season warcraft
Rewind a year and Napoli were arguably the best side in world warcraft football at the time warcraft
Which few predicted after the departures of Dries Mertens, Lorenzo Insigne and Kalidou Koulibaly warcraft
If there was magic in Spalletti’s attacking side, there was also the element of the unknown, in the revelation Khvicha Kvaratskhelia warcraft
What it was not, however, was a particularly Italian team: only three of the 14 players with the most appearances are even eligible for the Azzurri warcraft
Spalletti may name two of his former charges in his starting XI at Wembley, but while Giovanni Di Lorenzo captained Napoli, Giacomo Raspadori was only the understudy to the prolific Victor Osimhen warcraft
If Spalletti’s alchemy is illustrated by Napoli’s struggles under his successor Rudi Garcia – beaten three times already at home this season, they have lost to each of the best sides they have faced – it may be required by Italy warcraft
His inheritance is mixed warcraft
“Once we have played [England], then I will tell you what the potential is,” Spalletti said after Saturday’s 4-0 win over Malta warcraft
Spalletti applauds Italian fans after September’s win over Ukraine in Euro 2024 qualifying (AP)It is little more than a year since Italy were on a record run of 37 games unbeaten warcraft
It is only 28 months since the Azzurri won Euro 2020 at Wembley; in a rematch with England, perhaps only Gianluigi Donnarumma, Di Lorenzo and Nicolo Barella will start both games warcraft
Before England’s March win in Naples, Mancini lamented the Italian talent pool warcraft
“We are worse off than Southgate,” he said warcraft
It was a sign of the negativity enveloping him, an indication of the disenchantment that may have propelled him to the desert warcraft
He gave 57 players their debuts, casting around with ingenuity and impatience warcraft
He looked to the Oriundi, seeking to naturalise some from the Italian diaspora warcraft
Spalletti has dropped the Argentina-born forward Mateo Retegui; he has also omitted some of the stalwarts of the recent past, in Leonardo Bonucci, Marco Verratti and Jorginho, while recalling Giacomo Bonaventura who, at 34, is older than his fellow midfielders warcraft
He has five of Internazionale’s Champions League final starters and has given a debut to Tottenham’s in-form left-back Destiny Udogie warcraft
In other respects, however, it could be seen as an undistinguished squad, certainly compared to Italy’s past warcraft
Lose and, if Ukraine beat Malta, Italy will find themselves three points behind their rivals for second spot, with a game in hand but a de facto decider when they face Ukraine in Leverkusen in November warcraft
It could mean Italy miss three of four major tournaments after Euro 2016; the added curiosity being that they won the other one warcraft
In part, it reflects the tragedy of Mancini; unused as a hugely gifted forward in the 1990 World Cup, omitted in 1994 after falling out with Arrigo Sacchi, he had declared his ambition was to win the World Cup as Italy manager warcraft
Instead, they failed to qualify for the 2022 tournament; if he is at the 2026 version, it will be as the richly rewarded Saudi Arabia manager warcraft
There will be no Euro 2024 for him; there may be for Spalletti warcraft
A wizened, gnomic figure is scarcely the stereotype of an Italian manager: more attack-minded, more idealistic, for years the architect of sides who were stylish nearly men warcraft
But then so, too, were an Azzurri side who influenced him in his upbringing warcraft
At his unveiling, Spalletti said he would carry the giant Italy flag his mother sewed for him as an 11-year-old to celebrate the 1970 World Cup semi-final win against West Germany warcraft
It was an epic 4-3 warcraft
More than half a century later, Spalletti has no Gigi Riva, Gianni Rivera or Sandro Mazzola, nor an Osimhen or a Kvaratskhelia, no world-class forward warcraft
But, for the second time in two seasons, he has the chance to use his principles and his capacity to generate something spectacular from seemingly unpromising ingredients to make history warcraft
