Boks' special welcome: 'Yes, ma se kinders'

WATCH as the Springbok players extend a special welcome top the British and Irish Lions – in several of the country’s 11 languages.

Rudolph Gerhardus Snyman even suggested the B&I Lions ask wing Duhan van der Merwe – born and schooled in George, South Africa – to assist the tourists with some of the translations.

And RG, as he is affectionately known, finished off by speaking some ‘Lion‘.
