WATCH: Did Matfield swear about the Boks on TV?

It's subtle but the legend at lock did call them something bad. WARNING: Some brief but strong language.


Springbok legend Victor Matfield appears to have suffered a fairly embarrassing slip of the tongue.

A clip has emerged on Twitter showing him during a build-up broadcast for SuperSport of last weekend’s thriller between South Africa and the All Blacks, where it sounds as if he refers to the Boks as “c*nts” before quickly correcting himself to say “guys”.

To his dubious credit, Matfield did keep his composure pretty well.
