Rugby fans the world over shout and scream at their TVs while the game is on, and it’s basically part and parcel of what it means to support your team.
If you watch SuperSport’s coverage, you hear from in-studio pundits like Nick and Naas, with a number of former Springboks responsible for the live TV commentary.
Sadly, I do not know the names of the Xhosa commentators below (some comments suggest Kaunda Ntunja is one of the men), but a recent viral Facebook post has picked out some of their most animated moments for us to enjoy.
If you’re looking for a way to spice up your Super Rugby coverage (you’re still watching Super Rugby? That makes one of us), here’s something to consider.
These videos come via a Facebook post by Ntando Ntiro Mqikela, starting with a wonderful Aphiwe Dyantyi (pictured above) try:
You really have to love that passion.
Of course, who could forget the fireworks when the Boks downed the All Blacks in Wellington last year:
WARNING
Once again isiXhosa commentary was BOSS!! It truly captured that moment when the @Springboks won against the All Blacks!!!

Superb stuff.
Who knows, maybe SuperSport can provide Xhosa commentary for the World Cup cricket matches, and we will get to hear Makhaya Ntini speak in his mother tongue.
