These were the jubilant scenes at Alun Wyn Jones' boyhood club, Bonymaen RFC, after South Africa beat England in the Rugby World Cup final.

The club had spent the past few weeks following Wales and their inspirational captain, who still has close ties to the club.

But, after Wales came up just short in their semi-final of the World Cup against South Africa, members decided to switch support to the Springboks for the final.

The players all dressed up in South African jerseys as they watched the final at the club's HQ high above the Ospreys' Liberty Stadium home on the outskirts of Swansea.

And they went wild with delight as the Springboks wiped the grin off the face of England coach Eddie Jones with a 32-12 demolition job in the final in Yokohama.

Chris Stokes, a player and social media manager at the club, explained: "Every week we have a 'nutters' club' where a player nominates an item we all have to bring. If you don't bring it you get a fine, which goes into improving the club.

"As we don't have a game this week, the social committee decided after the England win last week that we would have to dress up as whoever won out of Wales and South Africa.

"Sadly, Wales lost but we still had to dress up. The players have spent more on buying Springboks kits than we would have been fined if we hadn't worn them!

"It's just a bit of fun and a great way to get players socialising off the pitch."
