    Interesting stat.

    Edit (and another edit):

    Link not working, but anyway it shows that in the professional era no team has ever won the WC after knocking out the ABs. At least we are the kiss of death.

        @gt12 SA first team to win after losing a game too.

        Also are they the first TRC/Tri-Nations and RWC winner in same year or was that just us not able to win both?

          I think they are.

          Edit: Wikipedia confirms we won the 3N in 1999.

              I dislike him for faking being injured by a palm in the face. Very similar to the Brazilian nob many moons ago.

                    The stat that has continued is that no team whose captain has a jersey number above 9 has won the RWC. In the professional era, it's only forwards. International coaches should take note.

                            @Nevorian technically, we had a number of players got 2 Cups in 12 years...some only needed 8 😉

                                  Steyn won in 2007 and 2019 both against England. Os win his first against us and the second against England. So he doesn't apply to your trivia tidbit

                                    England won it for Boks. ABs will beat them 2/3 right now.

                                    Boks worthy RWC 2019 winners. And RC double unique to date.

                                        Takes too much out of them.

                                          Ah man something about the poms reaction doesn't sit well. They just look like sore losers. None of them even want to wear their medals. Kinda feels disrespectful.
