On Saturday night South Africa’s hard work paid off when they won England 15-6, to become the winners of the Rugby World Cup, a victory that didn’t come easy.
The 15-6 win over England will be an historic moment for South Africans as being one of th
e toughest Test match victories ever, as England came close with a missed try by Mark Cueto and two missed drop goals by Jonny Wilkinson. The top players on the night for South Africa were Percy Montgomery and Francois Steyn.
Steyn scored a great penalty from well within his half to send the whole country into excitement. But it was Montgomery who sealed victory for the Springboks with four faultless penalty kicks.
Wilkinson managed two penalties for the English side, but never looked like a threat to the Boks.
Excitement was felt throughout the country. South Africans celebrated into the early hours of the morning.
