Planes fly less than 50ft above South Africa rugby stadium in dramatic stunt

Two Airlink planes performed a dramatic low flyover above Cape Town's DHL Stadium ahead of South Africa vs New Zealand on Saturday (29 August) in the "Rugby's Greatest Rivalry" series.

One aircraft was Springbok green, while the black plane symbolised the All Blacks jersey.

Footage posted online by the airline showed the two planes flying close to the stadium ahead of kick-off.

According to Flightradar24, the aircraft passed less than 50ft above the top of the stadium.

South Africa secured a hard-fought 33-26 win over New Zealand in the second Test of the tour.
