While we rub our hands together in gleeful anticipation of the boys in green and gold showing the world how to play rugby, the Springboks have been busy filming adverts for the upcoming Rugby Championship.
However, TV presenting differs from drumming the All Blacks, and this hilarious blooper reel shows the Boks lacking some ‘big television temperament’.
While filming the ads with SuperSport, several Springboks came undone in front of the cameras, forgetting their lines and tripping over their words in the most animated and amusing way.
We asked some of the Springboks to say two lines to camera ahead of the Rugby Championship and Rugby World Cup..

As one 2Oceansvibe reader recently reminded us, there’s more rugby this year than just the World Cup, so to help you plan your beer and biltong order for July, check out the below Rugby Championship fixtures:
8 July: Springboks vs Australia (Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria)
15 July: South Africa vs New Zealand (Mount Smart Stadium, Auckland)
29 July: Springboks vs Argentina (Emirates Airline Park, Johannesburg)
The Rugby Championship will be a good opportunity for the Boks to show their mettle for the big one later this year. We hope they do better on the pitch than in front of the cameras.
