South Africans are still riding on the success of the Springboks who defeated the All Blacks to become four-time World Cup holders. The team won the RWC final 12-11 and are now making their way to South Africa to show off the Webb Ellis Cup. In the meantime, South Africans are now shifting their attention from the done and dusted RWC to the country’s national soccer team Bafana Bafana and are now wondering if some of the Springboks can’t replace the struggling soccer team players.

This after a video of some Springbok players expertly kicking a rugby ball was shared on X and has now gone viral.

In the comment section, locals joked that perhaps the Springboks should be playing for the national soccer team too.
