The South African rugby team really caught his attention!

Rugby plays an important part in South African culture.

Whether you love it or hate it, seeing our national team succeed brings everyone together.

It also makes us forget about the negativity in our country for a while.

The pride that SA citizens felt when the Springboks became four-time world champions can not be put into words.

While rugby is an international sport, it still baffles some countries.

This includes the United States.

In the US, they champion basketball, baseball and, of course, American football.

But now and then, you come across an American who witnesses rugby's ferocity, tenacity and athleticism for the first time.

Known only as @7footreacts on Instagram, the creator and YouTuber runs a reaction channel featuring various sports, moments, and more.

In one of his most popular videos, he watches a few rugby clips, which include incredible moments from SA players like Eben Etzebeth.

His reaction is priceless.

Few players can strike fear into a heart like Eben Etzebeth.

Although he's one of the kindest human beings off the field.
