JOHANNESBURG — The Springboks returned to a heroes’ welcome in South Africa on Tuesday after retaining their Rugby World Cup title with a narrow 12-11 win over the New Zealand All Blacks in the final in France last weekend. Thousands of supporters braved the cold and wet weather to gather at O.R.

South Africa’ Springbok scrum half Faf de Klerk arrives with other players at O.R Tambo’s international airport in Johannesburg, South Africa on Tuesday after the Rugby World Cup.

The crowds went into a frenzy as captain Siya Kolisi entered the arrivals terminal hoisting the Webb Ellis trophy surrounded by the rest of his teammates. A police band performed the national anthem and other iconic South African songs to welcome the squad back into the country. “This means a lot to the country because rugby always unites us even though the country is facing so many problems, it’s a special moment for us,” supporter Joseph Malherbe said.
