"I thought this video was very special seeing this song was considered our unofficial national anthem, and this video shows that things such as music, sports, etc really bring us together as a unique country with different races.
"I thought this would be a perfect time to post this as a symbol of the togetherness we have right now, during this Rugby World Cup, and if we can be consistent like this, we will be a great country, as a reference to the Coat of Arms would translate, unity in diversity!"
