Springbok fan WEEPS after loss to Wallabies

A die-hard Springbok fan dramatically wept after the thrice World Cup-winning champions lost their match to the Wallabies at Ellis Park over the weekend.

The national team faced off against their rugby rivals in the first of their Rugby Championship series games, where they were beaten 38-22.

The loss has knocked South Africa out of World Rugby’s number one ranking and into third place behind New Zealand and Ireland.

The woman was among many rugby fans who were left sad and disappointed by the shock loss. Some had travelled to watch the game live in action at Ellis Park.

One Springbok supporter told rugby commentator Robbie Gillett: “I travelled all the way from Dublin, Ireland, to watch South Africa beat Australia. But they didn’t deliver today. It was disappointing…make it make sense!”

Another added: “It was a terrible night, coming all the way from Potchefstroom”.

TRIPLE LOSS

The Springboks game wasn’t the only sporting loss South Africans were licking their wounds over.

On the same day as the rugby game, the Proteas cricket team also lost to their Australian counterparts.

MMA fighter Dricus du Plessis being dethroned as the UFC Middleweight World Champion was another hard blow.
