Rugby World Cup delighted with victory in South Africa Explosion on November 3, 5:10
Rugby World Cup Japan tournament where South Africa won the third championship for the first time in three tournaments. In South Africa, a large number of people watched the game over the air and exploded the joy at the moment of winning.
About 300 people gathered at the public viewing venue in Johannesburg, the largest city, and cheered every time South Africa scored.
And when the victory was decided, he expressed joy with a big shout.
After finishing the match, the black woman touched the success of Franker Siya Korishi, who was the first black captain, and said, “I am very happy to win. Said, “Korishi ’s success shows that the white-dominated South African society has changed.”
The white man was also pleased, "Korishi embodies the harmony that this country needs."
In South Africa, there is still a strong perception that rugby is a white sport because of the former apartheid policy where a small number of whites ruled the majority of blacks. It is said that interest in rugby has increased more than ever among black people because of their success.

In the UK, an English fan watched the final in a space set up at the Twickenham Stadium, a sacred place for rugby on the outskirts of London.
Fans gathered around the venue at around 7am local time 2 hours before the start of the game, and were filled with about 500 fans when the game started.
In the game, Pharrell, the captain, made a big cheer when he scored a penalty goal.
A man who was cheering with his friend said unfortunately, South Africa was unrelenting. There is also a chance in four years. Another man said, “I'm really sorry, but the players did well. Japan was also a wonderful host country.”
