South African viewers might hear the distinctive cry of "boomfa!" boom out when they are watching their beloved Springboks compete in this year’s Rugby World Cup.
That is because Queenstown rugby commentator and former All Black Justin Marshall — who has made this catch-cry famous — has been selected as an analyst and panellist for South Africa’s SuperSport’s coverage in France in September and October.
Marshall — a commentator for New Zealand’s Sky Sport since 2010 — was informed in March he would not be part of Sky’s commentary team in France.
