Springboks Return Home after Fourth World Cup Win; Kolisi Remains Open to Future Selection Despite Racing 92 Move

Springboks' victory hailed as symbol of unity and hope for South Africa, with a four-day victory parade planned across major cities; Coach Nienaber's future with the team uncertain.

The Springboks have made history as the first nation to win the Rugby World Cup four times, after defeating New Zealand 12-11 in France.
32-year old Siya Kolisi, the first black Test captain of the Springboks, has confirmed he will continue to be available for South Africa and hopes to represent the Boks, even after moving to play for Racing 92 in France.
Head coach Jacques Nienaber, despite planning to leave for a role at Irish side Leinster, hinted at a potential return to the Boks in the future.
Kolisi spoke of the Springboks’ success as a symbol of hope for the country, emphasizing the team’s diverse backgrounds and their representation of the people. He applauded this success as a beacon of hope for individuals in disadvantaged areas.
A four-day victory parade across Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, and Durban has been planned. Moreover, the South African President Cyril Ramaphosa declared a public holiday for December 15 to honor the team's victory.
