VIDEO: Ras Dumisani flops national anthem at Springboks-France rugby test

His name is Ras Dumisani and he's not in too many good books right now.

If you watched the start of the rugby test between South Africa and France on Friday night, you'll have noticed that the national anthem wasn't sung particularly successfully. If you weren't watching, consider yourself privileged.

Dumisani embarrassed a nation with his out-of-key, haphazard rendition of Enkosi Sikelele iAfrika, at times even forgetting some of the words. The Springboks struggled to contain their surprise and embarrassment, casting sideways glances and exhibiting expressions that said it all.

There's nothing quite like a stoned Rasta pathetically blabbering his off-key way through the national anthem to stir up pride and passion ahead of a big game. Or not.
