South Africa are world champions for a third time after Handré Pollard kicked 22 points in a 32-12 win over England, with second-half tries from Makazole Mapimpi and Cheslin Kolbe

In the end it appeared to be written in the stars. Every 12 years South Africa have an unerring habit of winning Rugby World Cups and they have done it again, following up their triumphs of 1995 and 2007 with another prodigious display of power and might. The image of Siya Kolisi, the first black captain to collect the Webb Ellis Cup, raising the trophy is set to become as treasured as any picture in Springbok history.

Congrats!

Congratulations SA Rugby team!😍😍

There needs to be some women in Rugby.

In all of the post-match report, the victorious Springboks stood their ground&were just as commanding as ever. That everything panned well as planned isn't mince words. Next time, England would have 2 play more ruthlessly& learn to how step up to the plate when occasion demands.

Obvious that England players were still distraught on us not leaving the EU on 31st Oct. Affected their game.

The team and the coaches were magnificent and deserve to celebrate a great tournament victory. However, this was so much bigger than rugby as only South Africans will really understand.

Well done south africa
