Springboks are “Scum”, apparently

I’ve often thought that certain players within the springbok squad are scum, however labelling the entire team as such is a bit rich, even for me.

Yet that’s exactly what their national broadcaster SuperSport have done this week. Towards the end of the first half against the Lions on Saturday they put together a montage of the set pieces with the caption “Springbok scum power”, as shown in this screen capture below (undoctored!).

A simple typo?

Below – don’t try to reduce gap between two top items – scoring of both teams – and cards and crowd size – it can’t be done after trying for an hour
