'It was so awesome': Desi, the adorable Bok-loving sensation, on what it was like meeting his heroes

"It was so awesome. I got to meet Siya Kolisi and Malcolm Marx and the rest of the team," said the seven-year-old viral phenomenon Desmond Koolen, who met his Springbok heroes on Wednesday.

Desmond, nicknamed Desi, became an internet sensation when his mother, Adele Koolen, posted a video of his school performance online. In the video, Desmond wears a Springbok jersey and sings James Brown's hit song I Got You (I Feel Good).

The video caught the attention of online users across the world, including Will Smith, Wayne Brady and Rachel Kolisi. Smith even posted the video on his Instagram account.
