               Rugby continues to unite South Africa



               It is truly amazing how sports have the ability to unite a nation. Rugby has certainly had a massive
               impact on South Africa. In 1995 S.A hosted and won the rugby world cup which united people from
               all races. (History, 2009) . In 2019 the country had a massive increase in the crime rate and rape
               going on in South Africa which lead to a lot of striking and protest in the country. The country
               needed a since of hope and joy and that’s exactly what rugby brought to our citizens. Winning the
               world cup in 2019 was crucial to unite our nation again. Winning the world cup proved to our
               country that we can be achieve anything if we came together and worked hard.
