WATCH: SPRINGBOKS SING EMOTIONAL NATIONAL ANTHEM

It was an emotional send-off performance for the Springboks as they belted out Nkosi Sikelel iAfrika in Cardiff.

Accompanied by the music of a brass band, players like Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu and Damian Willemse were visibly moved by the national anthem.
