The clip, which South Africans are claiming as a celebration of the Springbok win, shows the whale retrieving the ball after it is thrown into the water.

The video, with a string of SA connections, has been shared thousands of times on social media.

TimesLIVE tracked down the vessel to the harbour at Tromsø, Norway — but not the people who created the video. The boat from which the ball is thrown is a small landing craft with the logo of Cape Town boatbuilding company Gemini Marine visible. Gemini marketing manager Gerhard Neethling has said he would investigate the boat’s possible links to his company.

It has therefore been impossible to establish when or where the footage was made, but marine-tracking website Marine Traffic recorded the Danah Explorer near the town of Hammerfest on Wednesday.This is the Norwegian port which drew global interest earlier this year when an apparently highly trained beluga whale was found nearby with a harness that seemed to be set up for attaching recording equipment.
