Growing up as an orphan, siblings shot dead and some passed on due to illnesses but soldiered on in the tough rural areas of South Africa and then u defeat every adversity and score the 1st try in a World Cup final

Mapimpi not only are you a sporting hero but you are an inspiration to millions of suffering South Africans and a testament to not giving up in life. Springboks had to win this cup and change millions of lives back in Africa.

Can we Appreciate Lukhanyo Am for his skilled contribution to both tries. And King Kolbe the GOAT.

[daniedeklerk]

Every time I see those two tries I can’t help but get emotional and get goosebumps!🇿🇦

I’ll never forget Mapimpi’s celebration after his try and leaving Lukhanyo Am hanging, pure gold and joy 😭😂

Mapimpi’s story touches the biggest nerve and always will. 😢❤ the way his gogo (grandmother) spoke broke me and filled me with Ubuntu.

The South African rugby team are lions disguised as springboks, the proof is in the way they defend, tackle, and take their opponent down. Brilliant stuff.!

[adrianboshoff]

How South Africa has won THREE world rugby championships shows the total and utter passion within the great country. Like the great Muhammad Ali did against adversity and beat big bad opponents. This is what South Africa is all about... pure passion.. and this is what world rugby needs. Winners in adversity. You people in your 1st world prestine easy perfect counties have no idea the challenges we face in Africa. Amen.
