No doubt the Springboks went down in the history books of World Rugby after becoming the second team to win back-to-back in a World Cup final after winning 12-11 against the All Blacks.

It was an epic showdown between the two rugby powerhouses, and Handre Pollard was the difference since he managed to convert all the penalties. On the other end, the All Blacks failed to convert two penalties, and it took a toll on the scoreline. South Africa’s defence was solid, and it made the difference.
