With South African sports fans still dikbek over the Proteas’ performance at the World Cup, our rugby guys decided to koop ’n bietjie gevreet.
And they will do so by wearing fans’ selfies on their jerseys during this year’s Rugby Championship and World Cup in Japan.
On Wednesday, the Springboks announced a “Faces on Numbers” campaign which will see close to 10 000 mughots printed on the numbers of the players’ jerseys.
A number of Springboks visited several radio stations in Joburg this morning to promote our Faces on Numbers campaign.

To have your selfie on the jersey, you must enter a competition on Saru’s website.
Bok captain Siya Kolisi says of the opportunity: “It is an exciting project and what a great way for our fans to show their incredible support for the Springboks.

“Their faces will be emblazoned on the back of each team player when we play in The Rugby Championship and also in Japan.
“I cannot think of a better way for a Springbok enthusiast to show his passion and support for the team.
“Participation is free and anyone can take part, so I would like to see Springbok supporters from corners of the country jump on-board to be part of this unique experience .”
