A host of SA politicians have made their way to the French capital to cheer on the Bokke, along with Minster of Sports, Arts Culture, Zizi Kodwa, who wants Bafana to take inspiration from the men in green.

Speaking to Rugby365, Zizi laughed as said Rassie needs to help out with Bafana Bafana:

When I went to the changing room after England, it was with Princess Charlene and what happens in that changing room, that locker room — I realised how I wish I could get Bafana Bafana in the same room as the Boks," he said.

Zizi Kodwa was captivated by the spirit, culture, and the commitment and love of sport shown by the Boks before shouting:

"Rassie For Bafana Bafana for me." Watch:
