We are hours away from the highly anticipated Rugby World Cup final between the Springboks and the All Blacks in France.
The socials have been abuzz suggesting what a Haka for the Springboks should be like and media personality Somizi has an idea or two.
The choreographer took to his Instagram timeline on Thursday offering his services to teach the Boks the Haka he had in mind.
His mentions were flooded with celebs seconding his motion to fly to France and go do the things.
“Please fly there and teach the boys,” commented Kelly Khumalo.
“Abo Faf nabo Kwagga nabo Eben will be out of sync on the day,” wrote Jusse Suntele.
The Springboks and All Blacks are joint record holders of the most World Cup titles with three each.

The last and only time these two sides met in a final was at Ellis Park in 1995 when flyhalf Joel Stransky kicked the winning drop goal to give Francois Pienaar’s World Cup pioneers a 15-12 victory.
The Boks won their first two Cup games against the All Blacks, the 1995 final and the playoff for third in 1999. But New Zealand have taken the past three, winning the 2003 quarterfinal 29-9, the 2015 semifinal 20-18 and the group encounter in Japan in 2019 23-13.
