Tears, cheers and what can only be described as exhilaration spread through the nation today as the Springboks lifted the Web Ellis trophy.
South Africa dominated England in 2019 Rugby World Cup final in Yokohama, beating them 32-12.
Tries by wingers Makazole Mapimpi and Cheslin Kolbe closed the game out and sent Pretorians into overdrive.
The celebrations will continue for a good while, and our champions dedicated this win to all South Africans:
