ALL BLACKS PLAYER TROLLS SPRINGBOK SUPPORTERS
On his Facebook page, Lima Sopoaga revelled in the All Blacks’ defeat of the Springboks at Ellis Park.
The New Zealand-born player used the opportunity to troll South African rugby fans who had predicted that the Kiwis would lose to the back-to-back Rugby World Cup champions.
He shared: “Receipts kept 🤫 Retaliation is a must, ain’t no maybes ifs or buts”.
Just hours earlier, he cheekily posted: “Bang, bang, Good night”.
Ahead of the match, Lima – who will watch the All Blacks play the Lions, and the Boks again next week – called out South Africans who had sent him death threats.
He posted: “Hey guys, just remember it’s just a game. Some of you in my DMs, sending death threats and abusing the crap out of me. Because I said I want my team to win 2-1 in SA. I love a bit of banter and back-and-forth. But come on now, it’s not that deep”
BACK IN SOUTH AFRICA
Lima Sopoaga – who made his debut in Ellis Park in 2015 – is not the only former All Blacks player who is currently in South Africa to watch the Greatest Rivalry series against the Springboks.
Popular players Dan Carter, Richie McCaw, Keven Mealamu and Sean Fitzpatrick are in the country to cheer on their team.
