If both teams convert the same number of kicks, there will be a sudden death shootout until the two sides are separated.<\/p>\n<p>The World Cup is yet to have a kicking contest, though it has been sighted in club rugby as recently as last year.<\/p>\n<p>Toulouse and Munster\u2019s Champions Cup quarter-final in Dublin in May 2022 was settled in a shootout with a slightly different format to the World Cup regulations.<\/p>\n<p>A decisive kick-off also took place after the semi-final between Cardiff Blues and Leicester Tigers in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/sport\/rugby\/rugby-union\/rugby-world-cup-semi-final-draw-extra-time-b2437740.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2003 Rugby World Cup final was decided in extra time Sign up to our free sport newsletter for all <span class=\"more-text\">&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":297399,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>New Zealand vs South Africa: What happens if Rugby World Cup final ends in a draw?
