GALLERY | Two boeings, magical Bok play and a spilt drink: One helluva day at Loftus

It was an atmosphere fitting of the occasion.

The first Test action of the 2023 season saw the Springboks, at times sensationally, run the Wallabies off their feet in a 43-12 Rugby Championship victory at a packed Loftus on Saturday evening.

But the action off the field was just as hot.

The stadium precinct was a hive of activity, while kick-off was made even more special by two Fly Safair boeings - the Boks' local carrier - gliding in unison over Loftus.

Much like the Wallabies, one stray fan made it onto the field and dropped his hard-earned "possession".

This was an afternoon to remember!
