LOOK: "Humble" Springbok RG Snyman seen in economy seat on plane
Many South Africans felt that Springbok RG Snyman "deserves better" after he was seen sitting in economy class on an aeroplane.
The entire Springbok team is pretty much still a topic of discussion wherever you look - and with good reason.
The Rugby World Cup meant so much for South Africa, and after their victory against New Zealand in the final, the Springboks were seen as heroes for the country.

Along with the World Cup win came international recognition and celebrity status for the Springboks, which is probably why many people were shocked when they saw the lock sitting in economy class while on a plane.
