Never in a Rugby World Cup tournament has any team had to travel on such a difficult road as the @Springboks team of 2023, having beaten the top-ranking rugby teams in the world to reach this final. I spoke to the boys earlier today and informed them of the 62 million people back home joined by T he entire African continent who are rooting for them and who will stand behind them throughout the final. The boys are determined and are fully driven by your support.
We are bringing the cup home.
