“Someone Tag Rassie”: Ouma’s Afrikaans Rugby Commentary Thrills South Africans

• A video of an Afrikaner grandmother watching a match between the Blitzbokke and a South American country went viral
• The ouma, seated in front of the television, shouted with excitement as one of the players scored a try
• People on the internet were thoroughly entertained and pointed out how good the woman looked for her age

During a match between the Blitzbokke and Argentina in the HSBC SVNS on Sunday, 7 December, 2025, a 91-year-old Afrikaner rugby fan was glued to the screen. She shouted with excitement when one of the players scored a try.

The TikTok page Nuscha the Schnauzer, which usually posts about the grandmother and the breed of dogs, uploaded the video two days after the match. The clip showed the ouma seated directly in front of the TV and hoping to see the Blitzbok lead the team to victory in the final minute.
