There are only 3 days left till the Rugby World Cup begins and teams have been arriving at Heathrow Airport one after the other to participate in the showpiece. The Springboks touched down in London on Saturday morning then headed to the town of Eastbourne where they will be based.
Although the Bokke were welcomed to the town by a torrent of rain, this did not deter the hundreds of fans who were present to welcome the team to their town.
