South Africa Claims Rugby Title

Compiled From Wire Services

Joel Stransky landed his second drop goal of the game with 7 minutes of extra-time remaining to give South Africa a 15-12 victory over New Zealand in the Rugby World Cup final Saturday.

Stransky scored all 15 points for South Africa, including the 30-yard kick that provided the final lead.

It was the first extra-time match of a World Cup final and the first final match to end without a try.
