The Springboks touched down in East London for their final leg of the Rugby World Cup Trophy Tour.
The back to back world champions will criss cross various areas on Sunday with the trophy culminating with a stop at city hall.
The young and the old showed love to the world champs. Some came early for the best spot, even if they had to wait hours. The players continue to appreciate the wave of support they are receiving. “The love we have been experiencing through out the cities, through out the country is incredible. I truly appreciate it. I really have no words to say. It’s been great,” says Eben Etzebeth, Springbok lock.“One thing that stood out for me is that together as a nation it takes just men with a ball to make such an impact, and to Siya, we know where Siya comes from we know as average people that have come from all walks of life. But today we stand together.
“As a rugby player I’m truly inspired by the Boks, Ox Nche is my role model. I see myself in the Boks squad in the future. They have done us proud,” another fan elaborates. The provincial sports department has vowed to develop the positive groundswell for the betterment of sports, particularly in rural areas.
