Faf No 2! Bobby van Jaarsveld shows off his cheeky SA flag 'Speedos'

Cape Town - Inspired by Faf de Klerk, Afrikaans singer Bobby van Jaarsveld showed off his cheeky South African flag "speedos."

"Speedos" usually refers to men's tight-fitting swimming togs. The word is a trademarked name for the Speedo company but is often used as a generic name for the "budgie smuggler" swimwear. 

Springbok scrumhalf Faf became an instant internet sensation after a live-stream from the locker room showed Faf meeting Prince Harry while wearing a patriotic bathing costume - following the national teams' World Cup win in Japan. 

"Thanks for all the wardrobe tips and for inspiring the men out there to wear their flags @Fafter09," Bobby wrote on Instagram.

Excited fans have taken to the comment section of the post with laughing face emojis and it seems the trend will be making a comeback on local beaches this summer! 

The photos were taken during a family vacation in the Maldives in September, but we don't mind him sharing it twice!
