Absolutely incredible by Faf. Two incredibly vital interventions
Looked like one against 2 NZ runners.
Bit crap for a final innit
If South Africa win the semi, then the final by a single point….
Amazing player.
Quarter final as well.
No need for that close up of Smith, one of the most passionate All Blacks ever, and that's saying something.
called a shithouse south africa win before the tournament. big moments went their way and you don’t win the whole thing without deserving it.
All over! SA win. Congrats
Portugal 2016 of Rugby(except not really as they have serious pedigree unlike them).... how can you get outplayed in each stage of the knockouts, lose to Ireland in the groups and still win the whole thing 
Congrits sith ifrica!
Well done, SA. Looked weary tonight (after the last weekends?) but kept ahead the whole game. Brave effort from NZ with 14 men.
I find it so weird that in a sport where the main goal for 80 minutes is to score tries, it’s so easy to win games without scoring any tries at all.
great win for south africa. shit mccaw motm.
Screw you O'Keeffe
Well done South Africa
My fecking heart is battling to take the strain, unbelievable win……..
Ireland the only team to beat South Africa so it’s our World Cup really. Justice for Pogue.
Du Toit with the performance of a lifetime.

Just as well England weren’t playing, we’d never hear the end about how poor the quality was.
Unbelievable that NZ played most of the game with 14 men, missed a couple of kicks, had a try ruled out, knocked the ball on about 20 times and still only lost by a point.

Greedy NZ not taking the kicks at posts
Fair play to SA. Well done
Setup for them to win it
Lame ending.
A final between two titans. Been a great tournament
Holy shit I’d forgotten that
Qf France 28 - 29 South africa
SF England 15 - 16 south africa
F New Zealand 11 - 12 South Africa
How insane is that
Masters at defending and parking the bus. Mourinho would be proud. Well done on the victory.
Kudos to NZ for keep going and playing great with a man down.
Once again, Steve Earle making a key French tackle, in France. Top.

They arguably should have gone to the corner for that one Barrett knocked wide.
South Africa won each of their knockout round games by 1 point.
Madness

Are you saying we won the real quiz?Portugal 2016 of Rugby.... how can you get outplayed in each stage of the knockouts, lose to Ireland in the groups and still win the whole thing
They're an awesome side, they didn't play their best after the physical and emotional test they went through against France but to beat that French side in Paris was going to take an almighty effort (I thought France would win the World Cup because I didn't think any team could do that) and to then back it up with 2 such gutsy wins is an incredible effort. The improvement in New Zealand over the last year too was phenomenal, it's cruel that they had to lose given how much they gave especially in the 2nd half.
Yep. So many atrocious calls by him back then and I can say the same about Barnes today as well.
Taking a shot on behalf of @Ish
Du Toit is a beast.
New Zealand going from being in the "top 4" on the sheer basis of being New Zealand to what they actually delivered in the knockouts was a tremendous turnaround to be fair. Amazing effort with 14, but that perfect touch of QF/SF just wasn't quite there.
South Africa didn't score after 34 mins.
Shite final capping an absolutely woeful tournament.
