The All Blacks have 80 minutes to put the icing on a tournament which has brought a wonderful seven weeks to the country.
The Rugby World Cup has been an outstanding success for New Zealand. Of that, there is no doubt.
The perfect climax would be a win for the All Blacks in the final.
If it was a Sunday movie, that would happen. But this is not romantic comedy. This is sport, where the script does not always go to plan.
The All Blacks go into the game as heavy favourites. But when the game kicks off that will mean nothing, a fact not lost on All Black coach Graham Henry.
Henry, who will surely depart the national coaching job after tomorrow night, was wary of a French side written off by many.
"This French team, we are not sure who is going to turn up so we have to prepare [as if] they are going to be the best in the world. Certainly they have got the individuals to do that. Whether they can produce that as a side is the thing," Henry said.
"The word is they have prepared well and they are very focused and enjoying the underdog tag and using as much of the ammunition of the media they can.
"We think they are an outstanding rugby team with some outstanding players, and it is going to be a huge final."
The All Blacks had their last full training run yesterday and will finish off preparations today with a light run at Eden Park.
"This is our 12th test in 14 weeks and I don't think that has ever happened before, so it is pretty demanding," Henry said.
"So we've just got to make sure we dovetail the situation. We can't be over-physical at training and we haven't been. We just have to prepare accordingly for the situation."
Henry named an unchanged starting team to take on the French, with the only change in the reserves in the return of Otago's Adam Thomson as the loose forward back-up, instead of Victor Vito.
Thomson has finally got over an ankle injury which he picked up against France four weeks ago.
Henry said Thomson edged Vito as he was a more experienced player, had played major tests and had previously faced the French.
After 102 tests, this should be Henry's last in charge and though he appeared relaxed yesterday, two days out from the big match, he said that was necessarily the case.
"What you see on the outside may not be a good reflection... This is the third World Cup that I've been involved in and I'm with an extremely talented group of management and that helps immensely, and they are experienced as well.
"A lot of us have been together for eight years and then you throw in Richie [McCaw], Daniel [Carter] and Mils [Muliaina]. I know those last two are not playing right now, and then there are a number of others who have been together for a long period.
"They have basically taken over the team; taken ownership and responsibility. They have taken a huge responsibility. I have got nothing to do now."
Many in the team had tasted success at different levels but none had been world champions, which Henry said was motivating the side.
"I have been with a lot of these guys for a long time. And although they may be great for leading the team to the top of the world they have never been world champions. And it would be marvellous to have that title.
"So for Richie and the boys it will be fabulous. You do not deserve that title until you do the job. But I think they will be good enough."
The match is there for the All Blacks to take. They have to bring the same intensity that they did in the semifinal win over Australia last week.
The French have looked off the pace at times in this tournament but have still been good enough for the final. They could surprise and play the game of their lives. If that does occur, look out.
But the All Blacks can decide their fate. They possess the pen to write the final chapter of this tournament.
They simply have to go out there and do the business.
