We might have thought we had a tough match when we played in the end winning against France on October 14, on a score of 19-18 beating them in their home home-ground. The semi finals between the Springboks and England had many social media users sharing that their hearts were beating fast, with some sharing videos of their families emotional reactions.
After coming out victorious on a 16-15 score against the English, Mzansi’s social media users shared many celebratory videos including some of the most hilarious ones that we’ve come across.
One user shared a video of her son sobbing when the odds were against us with England fighting hard to kick us out of the World Cup. Proudly in his Springbok rugby t-shirt and cap, the young man sobbed while a family member helped him drink water.
They caption the post:
The springboks are not only gonna kill us they gonna kill our children ??the “yoh” took me out ?.
