YES!!! The Springboks beat the All Blacks to win another Rugby World Cup title
Springbok captain Siya KolisSpringbok captain Siya Kolisi said New Zealand had taken his side to a "dark place" in the Rugby World Cup final, but praised his South Africa side for finding a way to win a record fourth title.
The Boks had led 12-6 at half-time in Paris, Handre Pollard kicking four penalties to two from Richie Mo'unga.
The Springboks bagged a record fourth Rugby World Cup title and went back-to-back claiming a historic 12-11 win over their arch-rivals New Zealand in the Stade de France in Paris.
Some gritty defence at the death, coupled with some key big moments from individual players at critical times helped secure the win as the All Blacks fought with 14 men for a big chunk of the final after a red card to captain Sam Cane.
Flyhalf Handre Pollard kicked all twelve points for his side under immense pressure, while the defensive effort in the second half when the Boks unleashed their Bomb Squad, defused the fight the Kiwis showed without their leader.
Winger Cheslin Kolbe, sitting with his jersey over his head in the sin after a yellow card at the death, was probably the sight of millions of South Africans around the country who had their hearts in their mouth as they sat through another nail-biting match.
WELL DONE BOKKE!!!
