Sick children and tonsils unfortunately often come with the privilege of being parents.
Springbok lock Franco Mostert and his wife Juan-Ri experienced that first-hand this past week, with their eldest going into surgery for the removal of her tonsils and adenoids.
Franco is currently playing rugby in Japan, which made showing his support a little more tricky this time around.
But, although he wasn’t there physically, he sent his daughter – whom he lovingly calls Tjoli – a heart-warming video to show his support and love. (Scroll through the below carousel to see his video).
