Primary school learners wish the Springboks well in Japan.
The time has come for the green and gold to put South Africa on their backs and leads to victory. The Rugby World Cup is upon us yet again and until take-off on 20 September in Japan. South Africa qualified for the biggest rugby competition on the planet and will be facing New Zealand on 21 September at the Yokohama International Stadium. To encourage our Springboks, the learners of Greenside Primary shared a few messages of inspiration to the team as they prepare for battle in the land of the samurais.
Have a look at what they had to say to the national team:
