Championship winning Springboks get hero's welcome

claim their first Castle Lager Rugby ChampionshipThere is now a strong belief that they can beat any other team in world rugby on their day, but the lingering doubts remain over their ability to consistently perform at the level required to do so.

"I think for us the most important thing was to work on our consistency," captain Duane Vermeulen said after the win in Salta. "We started the Rugby Championship working on executing our plans, and in a way we are happy with our performance but there are still a few things to work on."It’s a great feeling for us to walk away with the title, but in the end it’s a stepping stone for us going into the World Cup."

The Boks open their World Cup campaign with a meeting against defending champions New Zealand in Yokohama on Sept. 21, a potential decider for top spot with Italy, Namibia and Canada also in the pool.

Congratulations to the boks

Really, you dont say......I would think they would bring the trophy with them ..... just seems pointless leaving it in in Argentina after winning it.

Well done Champs you've brought back our reputation in sports.I applau to ur good work👏👏👏👏
