Coach Rassie Erasmus has released footage of his Rugby World Cup final team talk, in which he tells his Springboks their performance against England can change South Africa.
"You don't have the right to worry about your mistakes," Erasmus tells his team in a video on his Twitter account.
"You are not representing yourself.
"You are fighting for the things that happen in South Africa. If you play badly today, you don't have the right to drop your head. It's not about you."
South Africa went on to win November's match 32-12, securing their third world title.
The story of Springbok captain Siya Kolisi, who grew up in a Port Elizabeth township in such poverty that his favourite toy was a brick, became an emblem of South Africa's victory as they toured their home country with the Webb Ellis trophy.
