South Africa, complicated victory in front of Argentina: “It's unreal, I talked about it all week”

At the election of the Argentinians, the match was held at the Twickenham Stadium in London, in front of 70,360 spectators, and South Africa has imposed with 29-27. After 4 essays completed by Jacobus Reinach and Malcolm Marx, Argentina forced the return, but failed to end it.

As a result, South Africa has awarded its second consecutive title in rugby champions, having a balance of 4-2, like New Zealand, but being better in direct duels.

“It's unreal, I talked about it all week. I never won two consecutive titles. We still have improvements to do but we get there too. I knew we would not get here here and we would defeat them. Teams take 60, 70 minutes to impose themselves, and Argentina is unreal. They had a lot of intensity, they fought the whole match, “said Jacobus Meyer Reinach, the match man, quoted by Reuters.

“Maybe this is the last rugby championship. I'm not 100% sure how it will take place in the future. So it meant a lot. We are lucky that we didn't play in Argentina. They were very aggressive here, but there is no doubt that they were even more in Argentina. I lost twice. But it was their decision to play here because they helped them financially and increased their game with many spectators. We're lucky to play here“Added Rasie Erasmus, South Africa coach, according to BBC Sport and The Guardian.
