South African rugby team The Stormers teamed up with various artists and local celebrities to record a tribute video of Johnny Clegg’s ‘The Crossing’.
Recorded and filmed in their bye week at the beginning of March, the video has been released on the Stormers’ social media channels.
The Stormers squad used ‘The Crossing’ as a team song for the 2020 Vodacom Super Rugby competition, singing it in the changeroom after every game before the current season was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The song was chosen by team management as Johnny Clegg was a nation-builder who crossed over different communities, much like the Springboks did by winning the Rugby World Cup in 2019.
