It's the Rugby World Cup final today, and England and South Africa head into the match in Yokohama bidding to officially become the world's best side.

Floods of messages will have filtered through for both sides ahead of today's game and, of course, politicians have got involved.

But when Prime Minister Boris Johnson weighed in with his best wishes, dressed in an English rugby shirt, rugby legend Brian Moore had a very simple message for the leader of the Tories which has provoked quite a reaction on social media.

Johnson had this message for the England rugby team as they head into their Rugby World Cup final against South Africa.

In response, former England and Lions hooker Moore write this, which at the time of writing had almost 10,000 retweets and more than 60,000 likes.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn also sent his good luck wishes to Eddie Jones' side, saying: "I wish Eddie Jones, Owen Farrell and the whole England team good luck for the Rugby World Cup final.

"You've done brilliantly so far - just one more game to go to finish the job."
