Thank you Springboks, you gave us suspended LOAD SHEDDING for 2 weeks now, its a Paradise 😂

[@sarahnemuhuyuni2826]

😂😂😂😂 tell me abt it

[@yonelangombane8531]

They must know...😅😅... and we are grateful.

[@rickyv2844]

My Family in Zambia been sending videos from Lusaka how they watch the Springbok matches and and the amount of Support the Boks been receiving there. Africa unite behind the Boks indeed.

[@Spotlightz110]

England is a good team but Springboks can breakdown any team. Great job Champs❤❤❤ Thank you journalist from Africa. Our Captain was so happy when you addressed him and reminded him that the whole of Africa is behind them🙌

[@wiseone1013]

Excellent job gentlemen! We are enormously proud of your achievement tonight! When we were 15-6 down with around 11 minutes left, the bookies had us 4.33 to win. England had 1 foot in the final and it took a lot of heart to win from there. Springboks will be a coinflip or a slight favourite to beat the AB's in the final. Best coaching staff and squad of players ever!

[@phelansa23]

Siya, the consummate gentleman. Massive respect.

[@simonemason5352]

Absolutely I have tears in my eyes!!!

[@hermanvisser4034]

It is clear that the game against France took all the energy out of the Springbok team. Hope the team can refresh before the final. So grateful our beloved team is in the final.

[@peeps977]

Please, stop it! We cannot shout like this in the last 5 min of the game. My neighbour asked me to keep it down at 00am this morning. Powerful boys are powerful. We all backing you and we will keep shouting for you. Hola to the management of the Springboks. Well done Jacques en Rassie, Stokke en David's en die ander wie ek nie die name ken nie. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@kingsleygoeieman94]

The whole country is supporting you,from Mahikeng. 🇿🇦

[@latoyakell1]

That question about this win being a miracle was answered very well by Siya❤ Oh captain my captain!!!

[@jasonjohnson3589]

The Springboks are the cure. I cannot wait for next weeks finals to tell my South African brothers and Sisters, its truly been a pleasure to be on this journey with you all. We are bonded after this. The opposite of Apartheid is Togetherness, so it really feels like the Springboks are some type of antidote to the barriers between us. We may have nothing in common, but a love of the Springboks is enough of a foundation for a friendship. I love you all and I wouldn't want to be anything other than South African. We're healing. Our journey was ugly, but the end result is shaping up to be something special. God Bless South Africa and Bless the Springboks. A grateful supporter. Forward we move to finish the job! #StrongerTogether

[@michaelmkhize4650]

Humble and down to earth after achieving so much. I respect these guys ❤

[@noreenhills2433]

We know our bokke will play their heart and soul against the formidable All Blacks in the final! We are all behind you guys. The All Blacks are well respected in South africa; it will be a strong physical and hard match but our bokke are ready.. Please make sure the impis lead you guys out onto the field. It creates an awesome feeling of pride!

[@WonderboyTwoThousand]

Cannot beleive we won that game. Credit to England, they just about had us beat. Bokke !!!

[@7viwe]

Amabhoko-bhoko keep threatening us with heart attacks and TIAs I had my thumb on 999 as my chest was starting to feel heavy they can't keep doing this to us, next week we need more points strait away, England was on another level tjoo

[@Simphiwe007]

I'm proud of this team, they are truly special 💪🙏🇿🇦

Make us proud boys 🇿🇦🦌

Through grace we conquered

[@petronelswart2750]

Let's goooo Bokke I hope you win the world cup and good luck guys give it you're all and remember don't disappoint South Africa

[@glennmcintosh339]

Well done Springboks. You're a great team on and off the field. Massive respect for all your achievements especially these last two weeks at the RWC. Looking forward to the battle next week against my favourite team of all the ABs ❤.

[@henrydaniel3962]

The way the Boks played we Lucky to have this game 😮

[@tiaancloete7301]

When things are not going your way you need some luck sometimes, but bottom line is we manage to score 1 more trie then the opponent and our scrums was excellent in that second half thanks to Ox

[@Danie_Murray]

Nation movers ❤

[@phili200]

Guys the Boks need to be much much better against the All Blacks next week. The guys all looked tired and played with lackluster

[@esethugogela232]

Right???🥲 felt like England deserved to win because wow!

Go bokke, love you siya

[@jrbreytenbach9104]

REFUSE to give up

[@marcov3709]

Our team looks tired , the tank is empty. I was surprised that they played the same team Vs France , that game was physical but emotional too, & then the team who beat ABs at TWICKENHAM are fresh , will they be selected? Or will we go with the side that lost in NZ. For me Willemse, Cheslin, Andre, Moodie, Kurt, Libbok is the backline needed to energize and win this WC scoring tries. KLEYN & RG should be on too.

[@danielsampson7530]

Well done Boks... that was tight, thought England would snatch it

[@Babychef195]

We need to make a good decision making, we can’t always come from no where to win.

[@7viwe]

It's a bit of a worry, now

[@valbruyns7947]

Very stressful game...just watching it !

[@juanpierrebosch]

Trauma blur... how did we end up winning that one?

[@danielsampson7530]

Lol...that's what I thought?!

[@nonzuzositeto3725]

8:38 Siya whose chopping onions😭😭😭😭😭💔💔

[@DinDjarin914]

Congrats team. They have to consider starting Ox.

[@michaelmackrill6917]

I'm South African, and the starting 15-played shit. Nienaber can't keep on singing the same tune all the time. Ox should have started and pollard together with RG and Kwagga. The team that played France in the QF was clearly showing signs of fatigue, and they were tired. Rassie and Nienaber better make very careful choices come final, or we will get on our moer

[@annekeruben3238]

We need to work on our discipline, and we should consider starting our bench players imo

[@williambotha5864]

Siya, our Flank, Siya, our Captain, Siya, our Statesman ... in response to the '... you play ugly rugby, do you think this was a little miracle?' barb, he firmly, clearly and indomitably says 'Look at the f*@king scoreboard, fake sports journo!' Well that is what Trump would have said, but our Captain, our Statesman, chose better words, but the message was the same.

[@Anti-terrorist3112]

TRAGEDY....we are losing a lot of brilliant referees in this RWC. First Johnny Sexton, now Owen Farrell.....

[@lizellejohannes5439]

England's plan was to win with penalties

[@allisonwilliams7634]

That’s always their plan. They never do anything exciting their kicking is good but the game is always Soooooo boring.

[@asezangozo1914]

Yhea and everyone always blame the boks for that. Show me one time that. The english ball went to 13 or the wings

[@patrickchilds2987]

You thought Englands plan was to win by pennalties ? Could you not identify England game plan against the Boks at all in 80 mins ? Boks ultimately were worthy winners but Bortwicks designed a decent game plan against South Africa and it almost worked . He utilised the wet conditions, used high kicks and chasers successfully against the back three, used grabbers to dismantle the Bok Rush Defence, committed bodies to the loose and won turnovers. It was a good hard game that either side would have gladly won with a penalty. Ironically it was Boks who won with a penalty.

[@patrickchilds2987]

@@asezangozo1914 ‘Everyone always blames the Boks for that “ put your violin down and stop crying ‘ Yes the Boks were criticised back in 2019 at the RWC by a section of the rugby media commentators, journalists and some fans for their style of play. However when did they become ‘everyone ‘ then ? It’s now the year 2023 and certainly commentators like John Kiwanis, Clive Woodward or Matt Williams may have continued to criticise the Boks, but they are a very distinct minority and and not ‘everyone’ The majority of the rugby so have celebrated South Africa s achievement in winning again and somehow you whining about what a couple of foreign commentators say who are getting paid to court controversy.
