<\/a>Ramaphosa is hoping to lift the Webb Ellis Cup for the second time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am going there to encourage them as I did when I went to Japan [in the 2019 Rugby World Cup final]. I am going to encourage them and boost their morale and inform them that they are there representing 62 million South Africans.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey must play their hearts out. They must give their all and make sure that they score those tries and penalties and bring the cup home. I believe they are very confident and I will be looking at every player’s eyes to see the level of confidence they have.\u201d<\/p>\n
