Well done South Africa. Peace out! 👏👏👏

Love is mutual my brother. Through the All Blacks I became interested in New Zealand and Maori culture. So many similarities. So much respect and appreciation for Kiwis. Big "Flight of the Conchords" fan here. From my ancestors to yours 🙇🏾‍♂️🙇‍♀️

[@J0rmungund]

And so here they are..the Springboks of old reborn. My disappointment with the ABs losing the semifinal last week quickly faded when I saw the reaction of the Boks on winning the world cup today...we are reminded by their tears that only the Boks in all of Rugby feel the weight of a Nation and the history of the Giants who have worn their jersey as much as the All Blacks do. The Boks for all their troubles still epitomise what we Kiwis love and value about rugby and rugby players - tough, humble, unyielding warriors. This is the new dawn of the Springboks, and as our All Blacks look on, we now know that the storied rivalry between our countries is well and truly rejoined, and every True All Blacks fan in the world is rejoicing with you tonight, for we are happy in our own way, that these legendary Giants of rugby rule the world once more.

Thank you to All the teams, we all saw some beautiful rugby this World Cup let's take nothing away from the English who were worthy finalists. To NZ, we'll see you in the next final hopefully 🔥😜

[@Addamo]

Kolisi is an inspiration. Great player, great captain with such grace and dignity. And being the first black South African captain makes is all the more special and memorable. As an Australian, I am a huge admirer of this team. They are a massive credit to South Africa and rugby in general.

[@samkelosithole02]

Officially the greatest Springbok coach... won the rugby championship and the world cup in the same year 😎. Legend

[@cilliers1000]

And the only coach to do it in 24 months. It is not likely there will be a Bok coach like him again. An honest, humble, smart coach with no time for politics and mind games that some of the coaches get involved with

[@gabrielvanderberg741]

I met Rassie on a flight from Cape Town to PE. I asked if I could take a picture with him. He was so genuinely nice and he had this warm aura about him and humility that is remarkable.

[@horiraniera9649]

Congratulations to you both Siya Kolisi and Rassie Erasmus and your Springboks. Nothing brings a country together like winning an event such as RWC 2019. From a devoted All Blacks supporter you played a splendid game of patience absorbing the pressure that England dished up and maintained a belief and took the opportunities when they arrived. You thoroughly deserved your win and the title of World number one. A year ago, you were at best an outside chance, even right through The Rugby Championship up to the beginning of the World Cup. But you hung in there biding you time and let the cup come to you. The resilience you showed was such a huge part of your historic win and as you said Siya, your coach and staff's contribution of maintaining the positivity that flowed down through the team was probably X-factor you needed. Commiserations 'to England and Eddie Jones who had a well prepared team, who I believe had prepared solely to beat The All Blacks. Once again Congratulations to you and your World #1 Springboks and your expectant, equally deserving fans. KIA ORA.

I wouldn't say the 6 nations teams are arrogant, I think that is an unfair thing people attach to them with little backing. And that is coming from a Springbok supporter.
