A group of South African high school students have made a bold call about the All Blacks, but they’ve actually earned Kiwis' respect for doing it.
Northwood School in Durban North shared their MA-HASS-IVE rugby chant, complete with smoke flares, body paint and every student repping green and gold for the Springboks.
The video has been picked up and reshared by Rugby Pass who called it “the best rugby chant of all time”, racking up a massive 4.3 million views.
“Green and gold are in our flag, in 2023 we had the World Cup in our hands,” the boys belted out. “Kolisi is our captain and Rassie is our man.”
The next line was a bloody brave choice, adding: “The All Blacks have no chance, we gonna keep it in our hands.”
“The Bokke stay in our sight, don’t come to play, they came to fight. Forever green and gold said it from the knights,” The school stomped and chanted on repeat.
Kiwis jumped in the comments, actually giving the lads props for such a strong call.
“Fuck, that was a vibe and I’m from NZ,” one All Blacks fan wrote. “Straight chills, that was epic.”
They added: “Hey Siri add ‘watch All Blacks vs South Africa in South Africa’ to the bucket list.”
“As a New Zealander, I have to respect that that is a really catchy chant, and I like it,” said another.
"Got to give it to these boys 👏🏽," wrote a third. "The passion for the game and the Springboks is real, and they also acknowledge that the All Blacks are their biggest rivals ✌🏽."
"It doesn’t get bigger than this."
And it wasn’t just us, others from around the world are on the same page.
“Cannot stop watching this! Straight-up chills! ❤️from Ireland,” said one.
Another added: “As Frenchie, I must accept that the Boks are very good, and rugby is in the DNA of boys in SA. That's beautiful to love that sport so much.”
Meanwhile, the love in South Africa is strong. “We eat, sleep and live rugby.”
An absolute treat of a scene. Don’t ask me how many times I’ve watched this chant.
