WATCH: World champion Boks party on … and tears from Rassie

There have been plenty laughs and jokes, but also teary-eyed moments from the Boks since their arrival back in South Africa.


The Springboks continued their World Cup-winning party in Joburg on Wednesday, ahead of the start of their trophy tour through South Africa’s major centres on Thursday.

The Boks visited broadcaster SuperSport on Wednesday, while some of the players continued to party and enjoy the moment of winning back-to-back World Cups.

Several clips on social media have done the rounds in recent days, some funny, and some bringing tears to the eyes.

Director of rugby Rassie Erasmus breaking down at the airport on the team’s arrival back in the country on Tuesday is one such video that’s got the tears flowing.

Damian Willemse seems to be leading the way, with him in some video clips and pictures still wearing his full Bok kit from last Saturday’s final.

Here is a collection of some of the best we’ve seen of the Boks, following their 12-11 win against the All Blacks to win a fourth Webb Ellis Cup at the weekend.

And have a look at what’s coming next year, from SuperSport … remember the documentary Chasing the Sun, after the Boks’ victory in Japan in 2019? Well, number two is on the way.
