'Slow', 'depressing' SA national anthem leaves Springbok fans amused on social media | Sport

Saturday's 63-21 win for the Springboks over Italy in Genoa was a much-needed injection of positivity for South African rugby, with the lively showing of the backline particularly pleasing for fans.

Before a ball had been kicked, however, proceedings were off to a 'slow' start with a performance of The singer, Nicole Magolie, certainly didn't put a foot wrong in terms of nailing every lyric and hitting every note, but this version of the anthem did seem to take a lot longer than Bok fans at home would have been used to.

Our man on the ground in Genoa, Khanyiso Tshwaku, captured the moment before kick-off as Bok fans chipped in with some hugely entertaining reactions.
