Vanes-Mari du Toit and Hamilton Wessels are once again going to follow the Springboks all the way to the World Cup, as they did four years ago.
In 2019, Vanes-Mari and Hamilton supported the Springboks in Japan, became acquainted with the fascinating culture, and met many remarkable people.
The World Cup in France kicks off on 8 September, 2023, meaning it's time for Hammie and Vanes-Mari to dust off their passports and head to France to take you on a grand Afri-French adventure.
In France there is much more than just rugby to enjoy: world-famous wines and culinary delights, haute couture, art treasures and some of the best beaches on Earth.
Vanes-Marie and Hammie will follow the Springboks from Marseille to Bordeaux, where they'll enjoy a bit of wine tasting and try their hand at painting a mural.
After that, they'll watch the Springboks play Ireland in Biarritz with former Bok, Flip van der Merwe.
Then it's time for a scenic rugby boat trip with other South Africans.
And if all goes well, Hammie and Vanes will hopefully witness the Springboks lifting the Webb Ellis trophy again – this time in Paris.
