A clip of a South African toddler naming the entire Springbok squad has gone viral – and even coach Rassie Erasmus is in awe!
TODDLER NAMES SPRINGBOKS PLAYERS BY NAME!
In the clip, a toddler – not only than two years old – is seen naming each Springbok player by name, including Siya Kolisi, Handre Pollard, Ox Nche, Eben Etzebeth, and many more.
But when it came to Cheslin Kolbe, the little boy seemed overly excited.
The clip was posted on SA Rugby’s Instagram account, with Cheslin’s wife, Layla Kolbe, cooing: “My heart! How smart and so cute!”
Coach Rassie Erasmus also reposted the clip on his X account, tweeting, “So cool, Danko! “
‘YOU’RE MY FAVOURITE’
The little toddler is not the only tiny Springbok fan who is a big fan of Cheslin Kolbe.
Desmond Koolen – whose feel-good videos have often gone viral – has also called the popular player his “favourite.”
Speaking to the star last year following their World Cup victory at Multichoice City, he said: “Cheslin, you’re my favourite! You have inspired me, and I want to be a pocket rocket like you.”
In a heartwarming moment that followed, Cheslin walked up to the stage and placed his Rugby World Cup medal on his fan’s neck.
Cheslin is one of four Springboks who are up for a World Rugby Award this Sunday. The 31-year-old is up for the Player of the Year award.
Coach Rassie Erasmus has previously hailed him as a “once-in-a-lifetime player.”
