Johannesburg (AFP) – “I know this win will inspire people” says South Africa captain Siya Kolisi, as the Springboks return to Johannesburg following their victory in the 2023 Rugby World Cup. Thousands braved cold and wet weather to welcome the team home after they secured a narrow 12-11 win over fierce rivals New Zealand in Saturday’s final. Wing Cheslin Kolbe says “wearing that flag, having it on your chest, it’s the world.”
