‘Greatest SA captain’: Mzansi hails Kolisi and Boks, waits impatiently for holiday - TimesLIVE

Proud South Africans continue to shower the Springboks with praise after the world champions defended their title with their 2023 Rugby World Cup final victory on Saturday night

As Faf de Klerk brought out his Speedo to celebrate with tennis great Roger Federer, South Africans basked in the glory of another four years of calling their team champions. 

Captain Siya Kolisi led the Boks to a gritty 12-11 win against their huge rivals the All Blacks in a nail-biting world showpiece climax at Stade de France in Paris. Afterwards Kolisi reportedly broke away from the celebration lap to climb the stands to greet his friend Federer, who holds South African citizenship through his mother Lynette.

South Africa became the first nation to win the Webb Ellis Cup four times, and joined New Zealand (who have three titles) as only the second to retain it. 

Kolisi became the only Bok skipper to lift the trophy twice, and in succession, leading to many on social media hailing him as “the greatest Bok captain of all time”.

Sydney Harbour historic buildings under threat from holiday rentals ... - Sydney Morning Herald

Normal text size Larger text size Very large text size Historic buildings on Sydney Harbour could be turned into holiday rentals and hostel-type accommodation for more than 50 people under plans that have been labelled “creeping privatisation”. A new wharf at Nielsen Park and jetty at Milk Beach in Vaucluse are also proposed under a draft master plan from the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. Former Australian Heritage Commission chairman Peter King criticised the proposed redevelopments of the Strickland Estate and Nielsen Park, calling them Airbnb-type rentals that would turn over the park to business purposes at the expense of locals and park users.
