The Rugby World Cup final went without any major incidents which was worth celebrating for French referee Jerome Garces.
Garces became the first Frenchman to take charge of a World Cup final as South Africa claimed a third title with an impressive 32-12 victory over England on Saturday.
As he was handed a medal at the official post-match presentation, the 46-year-old kissed the medal before lifting it up to the sky.

Garces was then helped by assistant referees Romain Poite and Kiwi Ben O'Keeffe, lifted up to the crowd so he could see his family in the stands.
