VIDEO: Springboks hitchhike to practice

The Springboks had to make their own way to their training camp in Stellenbosch in June - and called on South African fans to help them get there.

Boks hitchhike

In an amazing and heart-warming team-building exercise, Springbok coach Allister Coetzee made his players find their own way to their camp in Stellenbosch from Cape Town International airport in June.


The players were divided into teams and had to make different stops along the way while hitchhiking with locals in the area.


Locals seemed more than happy to drive the Boks around Cape Town and the players didn't seem too worried about going out of their comfort zone.


As a South African, it is inspiring to see how people are brought together by sport. Who wouldn't you want to hang out with a couple of Springboks for a few hours?
