DID YOU KNOW?

Handre Pollard's 22 points are the second most in a Rugby World Cup final.

The 32 points scored by the Springboks is the third most in Rugby World Cup final history.

The Springboks are yet to concede a try in a Rugby World Cup final.

It's South Africa's third World Cup title, following the successes of 1995 and 2007. They have now drawn level with New Zealand in World Cup titles won.

02 Nov 2019

A thoroughly deserved Springbok win. They left their best performance for last. They dominated at scrum time, won the physical battle and remained calm throughout.
