I would hazard a guess that there cannot be a South African over a certain age who has not seen the clip of young Faf greeting Prince Harry in his SA-flag branded ‘undies’, which it turns out was actually a speedo.
Well, it seems that the short clip carried more brand weight than spending a fortune on any ad campaign ever could. Not only did Faf become an internet star, he sparked a ‘must-have’ buying frenzy that has resulted in the depletion of stock at BeanBagTheBrand , the online company where a cozzie, just like Faf’s, retails for about R299.
The good news is that if you had visions of yourself running into the sea while sporting this ‘patriotic’ cozzie over the holidays, you can place an order right now and BeanBag promises that delivery will happen before Christmas.
And while we’re talking rugby players, let’s repeat it because it just sounds so darn good – the Bokke defeated England 32-12 at Yokohama, Japan, to take their third Webb Ellis trophy!
