Grudge matches don't come any bigger than New Zealand and England. How fitting, then, that the staunch old foes will meet in the World Cup final on Sunday morning (NZT) in Belfast.
Glenn Moore's Black Ferns are within reach of their fifth World Cup crown but it is England who goes into the decider as defending champions and narrow favourites.
Black Ferns captain Fiao'o Fa'amausili is also chasing an unprecedented fourth title in what will be the 36-year-old's last World Cup.
History alone tells us to expect a tight tussle. England and the Black Ferns have faced off in three previous finals, all of which were decided by 10 points or less. All of which were also won by New Zealand. The last of those triumphs came in 2010, with the Black Ferns losing to Ireland in the playoffs three years ago.
The Black Ferns have breezed through the tournament to date, thrashing Wales 44-12, Hong Kong 121-0, Canada 48-5, and the USA 45-12 in their semifinal.
