THE Springboks are rugby World Cup Champions after beating England 32-12 in the final match in Yokohama.
Captain Siya Kolisi’s men have now joined the All Blacks as the most successful side in World Cup history after winning the William Webb Ellis Trophy for the third time.
Flyhalf, Handre Pollard kicked six penalties and two conversions in the game finishing with 22 of South Africa’s points.
Tries from Makazole Mapimpi and Cheslin Kolbe sealed the win for the Boks in the second half.
This is how the world reacted to the news:
???? “I have never seen South Africa like this. We were playing for the people back home. We can achieve anything if we work together as one.”
