Dancers performs ahead of the rugby Nations Championship match between South Africa and Scotland at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria on Saturday.
There was a distinct Scottish flavour to the pre-match build-up between the Springboks and Scotland at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday in their Nations Championship clash.
A menagerie of dancers made their way onto the pitch, clad in kilts, bagpipes blaring. You wouldn't expect Dis my Lyfie to bang when played through the doodlesack, but here we are, confessing beyond all belief that it is, indeed, a tjoon when trumpeted through those pipes.
As the dancers undulated, whipping off their tuck-ups to reveal South African-themed budgie smugglers, then rotating said kilts to display a similar theme on the reverse side, there was a genuine debate about whether this Scottish outfit could create history in South Africa.
The visitors have never won in South Africa since their first attempt in 1960 when they played in Gqeberha. Then, the Boks won 18-10.
