South Africa beat the All Blacks 12-11 to win their record fourth Rugby World Cup title Saturday at Stade de France in Saint-Denis, a suburb just north of Paris. New Zealand fought hard but could not overcome captain Sam Cane’s red card, which reduced the All Blacks to 14 men for the last 48 minutes of the match.
South Africans will be celebrating well into the night as their team remains unbeaten in World Cup finals and has become the first to hold up the Webb Ellis Cup four times.
