Springboks and Super Cars: A Match Made in Heaven!

Ever wondered what cars the Springbok stars park in their driveways? Buckle up for a ride through our rugby heroes' garages!

When you think of the Springboks, images of fierce tackles and try-scoring runs fill your mind. But behind the iconic green and gold jersey lies another passion: cars! From sleek Mercedes-Benz to rugged Land Rovers, our South African rugby stars have quite the taste for automobiles. It’s a treat for fans to peek behind the scenes of their heroes’ lives and discover the machines that match their athletic prowess.

Take a look at some of our favorite Springbok players and their cars - you might be surprised! Duane Vermeulen, known for his bulldozing runs on the pitch, drives a stunning Mercedes-Benz G-Class. It’s not just for show, as his G-Class is as tough as they come, just like his playing style. And then there's Aphelele Fassi, who zips around in style in his high-performance BMW, showcasing his speed off the field as much as he does on it!

But the excitement doesn’t stop there! The Bulls are turning up the heat in the rugby market by reigniting their efforts to sign back former Springbok centre Jan Serfontein from Montpellier. Known for his incredible skill set and physical presence on the field (he's a whopping 137kg!), Serfontein could be just what the Bulls need to strengthen their squad. His return would not just bolster the Bulls’ defense but also boost the overall dynamics of the team heading into the new season.

Rugby and cars go hand-in-hand like biltong and boerewors! You may not be scoring tries or traveling at high speeds, but following the world of rugby stars and their vehicles can be quite the adventure. Fans can’t wait to see how these players perform on the field while cruising in style off of it.

Fun fact: Did you know that the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, favored by many athletes, originated as a military vehicle in the late 1970s? A truly tough beast! Also, Serfontein isn’t just a powerhouse on the field; he’s known for his incredible community work back home, showcasing that his talents extend beyond just rugby! So, whether you're a car enthusiast or a rugby lover, there's never a dull moment when the Springboks come into play!
