The former Springboks star joined Ryan O’Connor, John Dobson and SA Rugby Magazine at Arniston Spa Hotel this weekend to watch the Boks take on the Wallabies in Perth on Saturday and Dricus du Plessis battling it out against Israel Adesanya on Sunday morning.
After celebrating a historic back-to-back Test win for our boys in green and gold, the team headed down to the beach when they spotted a baby dolphin that had been stranded on the beach.
With both our videographer and former Stormers legend springing into action, video footage captures Montgomery bravely picking up the baby dolphin and carrying it safely back into the ocean – fully clothed and all.
In a heartfelt moment, Montgomery stands in the water watching a revitalised baby dolphin zooming away through the waves.
