In a video posted on social media, South African comedian Leon Schuster appears in a hospital bed. He gave a message to fans of the South African Rugby team ahead of their game against New Zealand's All Blacks on Friday. The Springboks beat the Kiwis 35-7.
Schuster has been recovering from back surgery in a Pretoria hospital, according to Huisgenoot. The actor had back surgery earlier this month and recently returned to the hospital.
Schuster hurt his back while filming Mr Bones 3: Son of Bones, which he starred in.
In a video posted on Afrikaans is Groot's Facebook page, Schuster said:
"I'm lying here in my hospital bed, but I feel good today because tonight this massive game is happening. And I think what the Boks really need is to know that you stand behind them. Even if you don't agree with everything Jacques Nienaber [Springbok coach] is doing. Forget about that, what matters now is the win factor."
Schuster also went on to sing his new song Die Bokmasjien in the video.
Under the video posted by Afrikaans is Groot, fans of Schuster poured out their support for him.
