There’s nothing quite like meeting your heroes face-to-face. For many, that would be an unforgettable experience. But when Musawenkosi Mazibuko, a TikTok user, decided to share his gym encounter with some of South Africa’s most celebrated rugby players, it turned into a viral sensation. And not just because he met the Springboks—it was the hilarious height difference that really caught everyone’s attention!
When you think about meeting rugby stars, you probably imagine shaking hands with some of the biggest athletes in the world. But what happens when those athletes are literally twice your size? That’s exactly the situation Musawenkosi found himself in when he posed for photos with the Springboks. Let’s just say, these aren’t your average selfies!
Meeting the Titans of Rugby
Musawenkosi Mazibuko, known on TikTok as @musawenkosimazibuko, recently gave his followers a treat by sharing some candid photos from his day at the gym. Among the rugby greats he encountered were Ox Nché, Cheslin Kolbe, Eben Etzebeth, and RG Snyman. If you’re familiar with rugby, you’ll know that these guys aren’t exactly small potatoes—they’re giants on and off the field!

The first two photos showed Musawenkosi standing beside Ox Nché and Cheslin Kolbe. While they’re certainly imposing figures, they seemed relatively close in height to Musawenkosi. But things took a comical turn when the third photo dropped. In it, Musawenkosi stands proudly between Eben Etzebeth and RG Snyman, two of the tallest players in professional rugby. Suddenly, the height difference became the star of the show!
The third photo, featuring Musawenkosi sandwiched between Eben Etzebeth and RG Snyman, quickly became the highlight reel. Eben, standing at 6’6” (198 cm), and RG, who clocks in at 6’5” (196 cm), made Musawenkosi look like he was auditioning for a role in a children’s book about giants. It’s safe to say the internet noticed!
Of course, Musawenkosi didn’t stop there. He also shared a group photo of the Springboks hard at work during their gym session. Talk about motivation—these guys are clearly putting in the effort to stay in top shape!
