The Springbok team, along with management and backroom staff, gathered outside the Garden Court hotel in Umhlanga where they were greeted by a horde of fans dressed in Springbok regalia, waving South African flags and holding posters declaring their love for the players.

The Boks made its back-to-back Rugby World Cup title win on Saturday last week when they held off the All Blacks to win 12-11.

The final leg of their tour will be in East London on Sunday.
