Springbok ladies react to their champs winning the Rugby World Cup

The wives of the Springboks had mixed reactions after the whistle sounded in the Rugby World Cup final on Saturday night.

After a historical win on Saturday, the Springbok wives and girlfriends have taken to social media to share their reactions to their champs winning the Webb Ellis Cup in France.

And just like that, the Rugby World Cup has come to a close, and South Africa’s Bokke are set to return home with the trophy for its nationwide tour from Thursday.

We’re still reeling from the moment the ref’s final whistle ended what was one of the most intense final matches rugby has ever seen. Apart from the nail-biting game in which the Bokke won by one point, we’ve been gushing over the reactions from our champs’ biggest fans after they won.

Here’s how the Springbok partners reacted to their hubbies winning the Rugby World Cup:

Rachel Kolisi jumps for joy

We all know that Rachel is Siya’s number one! This year, she handled the stress that comes along with being a world cup wife like a pro, especially given that the entire family had just relocated to Paris from South Africa weeks before the games kicked off.

On Sunday, RugbyPass posted a video of the Springboks’ first lady jumping for joy as her husband lifted the cup after claiming victory over New Zealand and winning the title:

Someone pinch Aimee Kitshoff, she thinks she’s dreaming

Behind every machine of a man (ie Steven Kitshoff) whose presence on the rugby field is undeniable, there is a strong, supportive woman who compares a world cup win to a dream!
