WATCH: Bok celebrations — From Faf to Federer to front-row frolics

Oh what a night ... check out all the celebrations in Paris after the Boks' World Cup win!


The Springboks are world champions — again … and they sure know how to celebrate!

Siya Kolisi and his charges downed the All Blacks in Paris on Saturday night in another one-point victory (12-11), following their earlier knockout wins against France (29-28) and England (16-15).

The Boks are now four-time winners (1995, 2007, 2019 and 2023) and also back-to-back champions!

It was a night to remember in Paris … and here are the best of the celebrations videos and pics — from tennis great Roger Federer, who cheered on the Boks in his green and gold jersey and congratulated the team afterwards, to the front row friends Ox Nche, Bongi Mbonambi and Trevor Nyakane enjoying a big hug on the ground, and Nyakane dancing the night away!

Heck, even Princess Charlene of Monaco joined in the celebrations — in the changeroom afterwards!
