The Springboks defeat England in the final while imposing their physical will on England and thus claim a third title with a 32-12 victory, equalling New Zealand as the only countries to win the World Cup three times.
The Springboks scored two second-half tries through Makazole Mapimpi and Cheslin Kolbe. Fly-half Handre Pollard was lethal with the boot as he kicked two conversions and six penalties.

It was a befitting finale to a glorious competition that has increasingly gained ground among the worlds top global sports events.
Here are the highlights of a well deserved victory for the South Africans:
