I've been waiting to catch a glimpse of them on TV since 13h30 but still nothing!

Just one camera in a crowd of onlookers with lots of kids on sugar highs and talking head SuperSport presenters in the background.

They keep saying they'll be arriving soon but there's no sign of them. I imagined the cameras would follow them on the tour, be on the bus, drive with them etc.

Very poor production so far - you'd think they'd have so much more with the access they presumably have.

It's the most bizarre thing! - the bus eventually arrived but SuperSport followed the wrong bus at the beginning, one with dark windows and people you couldn't see.

Don't know who they were but it wasn't the open-topped bus with all the Springboks on it. The camera followed it for ages before focusing on the actual bus which is in shot now thankfully.

Who needs TV when you're in the action yourself. Okay, so I didn't actually see the Springboks but found myself in the procession today, ahead of the tour bus on the N2 in Cape Town.

Was brilliant - everyone waving on the side of the road, tooting hooters in anticipation - I felt like I was a Springbok.
