Take a quartet of dancing Lions, add a beatboxing Stormers fullback and throw in two Springboks looking pretty as Jack Parow's backup singers - and you'll have proof that there's a playful side to the brute force our top rugby stars flaunt on the field.
It is Tuesday evening and we are gathered at the Sandton Convention Centre in Joburg for the BrightRock Players Choice Awards, the second annual pat on the back for the land's pro rugby players.
The first person I spot is probably the most famous in the room - Springbok and Stormers captain Siya Kolisi, who is looking dapper in a blue check suit and is there with his wife, Rachel.
Siya scooped two awards at the inaugural event, including the ultimate nod as the players' player of the year, and this year was nominated in three of the seven categories.
Rather than discuss his chances of a hat trick this time around, though, I am more interested in the choice of footwear that Rachel has chosen to finish off her black rok.
"You'll always catch me wearing sneakers in the most inappropriate places," says Rachel.
Someone who put in a little extra effort, arriving in a glittering, sequined cocktail dress, was arguably SA's top female rugby broadcaster, Elma Smit, who not only mans the sports desk for Jacaranda FM's breakfast show but chats ball play on SuperSport.
Turns out Elma is also the marketing manager for the South African professional rugby players' association, MyPlayers, which puts up the awards.
"These awards are really the simplest way of making our players accessible - showing people that they have a personality, and that they don't take themselves too seriously," is how Elma sums up the night.
Elsewhere I spot towering former Springbok Victor Matfield with his wife Monja and meet Aphiwe Dyantyi, who equalled Siya's nominations on the night but didn't act surprised by all the attention.
"I've always thought anything is possible," said the Lions player and Springbok, who is one of the fastest in the land.
Into the venue, and the show starts with comedian Siv Ngesi doing a monologue in his most comfortable attire - his jocks - before we are welcomed by co-host Leandie du Randt Bosch, who tries to be as funny as Siv but doesn't quite score a try.
We also get to see the dance moves of those Lions players - Madosh Tambwe, Courtnall Skosan, Elton Jantjies and Dillon Smit (who had something else to celebrate: his birthday) - but it is the beatboxing skills of the Stormers' SP Marais which really impress me.
Standout of the night, though, is when quirky rapper Jack Parow is supported by Lions and Springbok centre Lionel Mapoe and Bulls and former Springbok wing Cornel Hendricks as his backup singers, complete with slinky dresses and long-haired wigs.
You'll want to know about the winners, and sadly Siya went home empty-handed while Aphiwe was handed both the #LoveChange award for most improved player and the backline player award.
Best off the bench went to Zain Davids, Pieter-Steph du Toit scored the defender title (though, nursing a nasty nose injury, he couldn't accept it in person) while Hacjivah Dayimani won the fans' choice award (and my nod for the evening's nattiest dresser).
The night, though, belonged to that hulking Mr Nice guy, Malcolm Marx, who left with both the forward of the year award and the ultimate prize, the players' player of the year...
