My face is purple, Gerry’s is dark pink, we both have issues with muscle pain and are just getting to bed now. Why? The Boks are back in town.

We spent most of today in the company of some of the nicest guys in the country. They also happen to be world champions in the game of rugby. The Springboks spent today winding their way through the streets of Cape Town, greeted by tumultous applause from every corner of the Mother City. Tens of thousands of people lined the route from the city centre to Newlands, where the big green Bok Bus finally came to a stop to unload our unbeatable team. People were hanging out of office windows, climbing trees, attaching themselves to lampposts and … screaming. The screaming didn’t stop. From the grand parade to the depths of Newlands stadium, fans turned the volume up full blast.

It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to be in the middle of it all. We were on the second bus on the way to Newlands and on the field itself once we arrived - surrounded by endless hordes of who-cares-if-it’s-a-workday Bok supporters. Not to mention some of the most incredible sportsmen our country has ever produced.

Cape Town really laid out a spread for the guys. Bob Skinstad said in an interview with us that Cape Town’s been the most responsive city in their countrywide tour. Obviously, I thought.

Enjoy the videos!
