Watch: Welsh rugby stars hilariously struggle to tackle SA slang [video]

South African slang has proven much harder to tackle than the average Springbok player these days and a few members of the Wales rugby team had quite a tough time dealing with some words unique to the southern tip of the African continent.

In a short video featuring actor Julian Lewis Jones, veteran lock forward Alun-Wyn Jones, star fullback Leigh Halfpenny and a few others they try and guess the meaning of SA terms such as “boet”, “lekker” and “laduma”. Admittedly they do much better than one would have anticipated – this may be largely thanks to the sport sticking to the tradition of players from opposite sides sharing a dop or two after the game.

It is however, The Justice League actor who who aces the test as he gets an impressive 100% score… We’re pretty sure he cheated but we’ll let it slide for his impressive pronunciation of “gogga”.

Watch the video below:

It will be back to the more serious business of rugby on Saturday though when these two sides meet at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
