Epic Loftus Versfeld flyover sets the scene ahead of big Bok win

Eddie Jones’s second stint as Wallabies coach got off to the worst possible start in round one of the 2023 Rugby Championship.

Facing a heavily rotated Springbok side, Jones said in the week of the game that he didn’t want to beat a second string Bok side.

It would prove to be a case of being careful what you wish for as the Boks dominated their visitors physically.

Whilst the action on the pitch left a lot to be desired as the Australians simply did not pitch up, the pre match build-up was out of this world exciting.

In a great throwback to the 1995 Rugby World Cup final in which a plan flew over Ellis Park, a flyover Loftus was organised for the Boks first game of the 2023 season.

Clearly, one of international rugby’s greatest venues Loftus was a cauldron once again on Saturday and no doubt played a part in taking the Boks to an emotional pitch that the Wallabies simply couldn’t match.
