Photo: ReutersSouth Africa have done it - they've upset the odds and beaten England in the World Cup final with a mixture of skill, brutality and an utter self-belief that this was their destiny. A significant one was Makazole Mapimpi's neatly taken try after 66 minutes which effectively put the game to bed, for it was South Africa's first in a World Cup final. Maybe it's just the case that England couldn't back up one of the finest performances in their history.
