South Africa has just won the 2019 Rugby World Cup. The final score, against favourites, England, was 32-12 to the Bokke, including two tries (by Cheslin Kolbe and Makazole Mapimpi) and endless penalty kicks by Handre Pollard! Right now, in this moment, we have no words. Just emotions. Joy. Gratitude. Pride. And hope that the incredible spirit lifted in South Africa by a united support of the Springboks will flow into everyday life…
For now, here are some of the photos we posted on SAPeople’s Facebook page during the match today, Saturday 2 November 2019. Later we will have more words… but now it’s time to let the tears flow with joy, and to CELEBRATE!!!!!
Thank you to Siya Kolisi and your team for lifting not just the Web Ellis Cup, but the spirit of a nation! Thank you to each and every Springbok fan, in SA and all around the world – for your unwavering love and support. This was always about so much more than rugby. #GoSouthAfrica
