Nice One Nando’s! Trevor Noah Ad and a RWC2015 Win!

Nando’s is on fire as usual, with the restaurant chain in South Africa posting an advert to celebrate the launch of local comedian Trevor Noah in America, at the same time as a Nando’s branch in the UK is credited for maybe helping the Tonga team win their pool match in the Rugby World Cup yesterday.

ESPN in the UK reported that “Tonga’s glorious victory against Namibia on Tuesday may have been fuelled by the Exeter branch of Nando’s, according to the restaurant.”

The Tonga team beat Namibia 35-21 in Exeter. Just the day before, the Nando’s branch in Exeter posted a photo revealing that the team had visited the fast food chicken restaurant every day for the past 10 days, adding that the Tonga guys now “feel like part of our family”.

Nando’s, which began in South Africa in the late ’80s, is now a global phenomenon with restaurants all over the world from Australia and the UK (where it’s so popular it’s almost become a British institution!)…to the USA, where the first outlet was opened in 2008.

Yesterday Nando’s in South Africa posted the advert above with a message saying: “Now we’re not the only South African brand on everyone’s lips. Congratulations Trevor Noah!”

And congratulations Nando’s. You’ve done it again!
