Have we found our ultimate Springbok fan in France?
"Could this be who we think it is, the trending Springbok fan in France?" - Sky.
Sky Tshabalala showed Darren Maule and Carmen Reddy a video of a Springboks fan showing raw emotion regarding the loss the Boks suffered over the weekend.
On Tuesday, 26 September, during the show, they actively tried to locate the fan and turned to social media to help track him down.
Here is the video below that has gone viral thanks to Rugby Pass:

His name is Thabang Mbembele, a 16 year-old scholar who went viral overnight at the Ireland vs Springboks game during the Rugby World Cup.
Sky couldn't believe that he had finally found him.
"Bruu, I can't believe my luck. One minute I sent out the feelers on my social media and the next I'm having this young man's dad contact me via Instagram DM saying that he saw that I'm looking for his son," says Sky.
Stay tuned for more on this story - as the team has a plan up their sleeves.
