South Africa Won the World Rugby Championship for the 4th Time

Last time champions South Africa won the World Rugby Championship for the fourth time this morning (29).

South Africa claimed the title by beating New Zealand 12-11 at St. Denis Stadium in France.

South Africa also became the only country to have won 4 Rugby World Cups so far, while runners-up New Zealand lost their chance to achieve the same record.

South Africa and New Zealand had previously met each other in a Rugby World Cup final in 1995. It is a remarkable event that South Africa defeated New Zealand 15-12 there and renewed history by defeating them 12-11 this time.

Meanwhile, South Africa managed to equal the record set by New Zealand in 2011-2019 by winning two consecutive Rugby World Cups.

England beat Argentina 26-23 in the Bronze Cup match.
