South Africans were left in awe after a heartwarming video of a young boy showcasing his impressive Springbok knowledge went viral on social media.

With someone, likely his parents, calling out the players' names, the boy confidently and accurately matches each one without hesitation.

From Willie le Roux to Eben Etzebeth and even Ox Nché, the talented youngster names them all like a true rugby fan.
There's clearly a favourite, however—when someone shouts "Cheslin," he excitedly yells, "Kolbe!"
The adorable clip was shared on X by Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus.
