“This is a victory that has a significance that goes far beyond the winning of a rugby match,” commented CSA Chief Executive Thabang Moroe.
“In the words of our beloved founding president, Nelson Mandela, ‘sport has the ability to inspire and unite people in a way that little else does. It has the power to overcome old divisions and create the bond of common inspirations’.
“This is truly a moment for our nation to enjoy and make us all strive harder to make our country a better place.
“Our sincerest congratulations go to captain Siya Kolisi, head coach Rassie Erasmus and all involved in making this a truly memorable day for South Africa and all its people,” conclude Moroe.
