South Africa go head to head with England for the final of the Rugby World Cup in Yokohama, Japan, on today.
President Cyril Ramaphosa earlier this week video called the Springboks in Japan urging them to book his ticket to the Rugby World Cup final.
Ramaphosa told Springboks captain Siya Kolisi he was wishing the team well for their semi-final clash against Wales today. “I am so proud of you personally and of the team as well. You have done extremely well and I wish you well for the semi-final. You have 57 million South Africans behind you.”
The president is currently in Japan, watching the game that will kick off at 11: 00 am today.
