Thank you for promoting this beautiful country of ours. Guest are always welcome.

I see Eggchasers upload, I click. Inject this content straight into my veins.

Hi Tim we know its a rugby channel but as a South African we absolutely love the travel content in between just watching you enjoy and appreciate our country is a joy so keep it coming.

The South African people are amazing. So full of enthusiasm, passion and joy. It’s infectious. Loving your enthusiasm and passion as well Tim. Thanks for taking us on this journey with you 🇮🇪☘️

That’s why so many Poms come here on holiday and either don’t go home, or go home, sell up and return like my folks did in the 60’s never regretting the move! It’s an unbelievable country, amazing people and a culture unlike anything else on the planet. So privileged, as an Englishman born, to call South Africa my home…truly blessed and grateful! 🇬🇧🙏🏻🇿🇦♥️ Bokke!! 🏉💪🇿🇦

Africa creeps in your heart it never leaves.

Not only is the content great but watching you enjoy our country is so good to see. RSA let's take care of this beautiful place

Absolutely love the fact that you're getting to experience our beautiful country. Enjoy every minute.

Ooh, I can see the tranquility of the African bush hitting you hey. Enjoy it. Breath the smells, the earth, the trees everything. Thanks for your videos.

Thanks for your kind words about our country Tim. At this rate, you may soon know what we know... 🙂

Nothing better than an early morning bush ride...everything smells better, i.e. coffee, the sky clearer, etc...

Tim. Hopefully you've seen why we love our Country so much💚💛🇿🇦

Best Rugby channel in my opinion.

You are a gentleman sir and a true ambassador of world rugby. I trust that you will enjoy your stay here in our country. We are honoured to have you here.

Spotting a leopard is such a special sighting. Very elusive and rarely look as comfortable with vehicles around as they do in the video! Lived here my whole life and only ever seen 4 of em!

I am so happy you have been able to experience the bush, Tim. You will have memories until the day you die. It is such a privilege that we enjoy here. It's truly great to have you here, and I am sure all your Saffa followers would love to see you back here frequently.

Can hear the bush vibes in your voice, Tim. Magical place, makes a day feel like a week.

I love seeing overseas visitors enjoying our beautiful country! Soak it up Tim!

Hey Tim, I hope you are enjoying your time in SA, it great to have you here. Keep the content coming

Thank you Tim. Glad you enjoying yourself in South Africa Cheers from Durban 🙏🙏

When you are down in the Cape and inevitably head to Hermanus i will be happy to take you out to Kayak with some of the most diverse marine life in the world.

As usual, seeing it from your eyes is a reminder - Thank you Tim! Enjoy!

Ah Tim - the serenity and majesty, actually, of those moments you shared with that Elephant family whilst they were drinking is a rare privilege - and then you even got to see a Leopard - wow - an even rarer privilege - not to mention the Rhino's - enjoy to the fullest as we close in on the first Test at Loftus....

Hope you'll get to enjoy a few braais around the fire mate. Not in town but somewhere in the bush, with all kinds of animal sounds in the background. It's always a great experience when you sit around the camp fire and then shine a light into the bush ... just to see ten yellow eyes of five lions staring back at you! 🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁

Thanks for keeping us in touch with all the great characters in the Rugby game. And avoiding the studio speak of others.

Tim, the bush (Kruger) is a majestic place - every time I have gone to the Kruger I get a sense of how insignificant I really am in this universe! It is utterly humbling! Bear in mind that I live by the ocean! The bush beats the ocean for me hands down!

Just enjoy Tim, nothing like the bush! lucky to spot a leopard during the day!

Ooo bush 15...sure I saw something like this once before: 15. Cheetah 14. Impala 13. Blou Wildebeest 12. Lion (Crash ball, anyone?) 11. Springbok 10. Leopard 9.

Elephant

One of the best country in the world in terms of nature. Just hour drive out of the busy polluted cities and we have reservations with wild animals to enjoy over a weekend (or the coast and beautiful beaches).

Hi Tim I see you enjoy breathing some high quality fresh around the bush the aroma from the acasia trees will slowly lower highblood n stress just by sitting under their shade😊😊

1. Elephant 2. Rhino 3. Hippo 4. Giraffe 5. Eland 6. Lion 7. Wildebeest 8. Kudu 9. Monkey 10. Baboon 11. Cheetah 12. African wild dog 13. Leopard 14. Ostrich 15. Springbok

So enjoy your channel - So pleased your ab le to see the very best place on earth The African Bush just spectacular - Living abroad I miss the beauty of the African bush

Hi Tim, it's wonderful to see how you relax and drinking in every moment. As a SA, we need to escape to the bush sometimes to keep us humble, to realize how small our problems are and how overwhelming the creation is. Enjoy every moment

Enjoy the bush and the wildlife. And the braai, the wine, the girls (look only) and the rugby.

Nice promo for SA tourism. Thanks mate

Great interview with Juan dJ, thanks Tim. Enjoy, from the bush to Loftus on Saturday. What a ride.

Welcome to our country Tim, we wish you have a most unforgettable exprience!

Hi Tim, glad to see that you have an awesome time in South Africa. You are in one of the best places in South Africa. Enjoy!! Regards.

I'm a simple man, I see Eggchasers Rugby, I click like!

Hi Sir, please bear in mind like any other country we have crime and poverty in South Africa but this is an incredible place. Hope you enjoy the best of our country and it's people and nature

White became wide - just like "wyd kant" 😅😂

As it turns out.. the man was 100% spot on

And just like that Africa is in your blood Tim and you will feel the yearning when you return to the UK I felt 18 years in London to sit around a "hardekool" bush braai again :)

Thank you very much for your very interesting videos. I can't wait for each episode. It is really awsome to have you visiting South Africa. Pitty you don't come to Cape Town too. But there is also scope for another visit. Just one correction, Juan de Jongh mentioned that the Craven Week was started by the late Dr Danie Craven. It was actually started by the late Jan Preuyt, a teacher from Port Rex Technical High School in East London in 1964. Jan Preuyt was chairman of Border Schools Rugby . He later became the president of South African Schools Rugby Association. The first tournamenyt was held in East London. It was named after the Legendry Dr Danie Craven.

Lol Tim from that camper van in France to the real camper Safari experience in South Africa, love it, hope you have a blast, looking forward to seeing what you get up to next🎉

Ostriches can kick- owl as ref as long as it's a night game

Tim...I'm chuffed to bits you're having a good time in my home country. Like you, I reside in Lancashire now for my sins...wish I was there!

So glad to see you enjoying your time in South Africa. You are so welcome here.

Gotta have a Kwagga at flank ;)

Glad you got to see some game also 😂🎉🎉

Glad you're enjoying our country Tim. Awesome to see Juan as well. Are you going to get to Brannas?

Wonderful idea Bush 15 . Enjoy your time in the bush

fantastic backdrop. hope you're enjoying your time in our beautiful country 👌

Ok bush 15: Elephants propping Rhino hooker Giraffes at lock Crocodiles at flank Hippo number 8 Monkey at scrumhalf Lion at flyhalf (star of the show) Cheetah and, of course, springbok on the wings Leopard inside centre wildebeest outside centre Vulture at fullback Hyenas off the bench to pick off the tired and weak opposition

I thought you would say you say #11 jersey belongs to the cheetah all day every day seeing that speed on open space is what they do best, lovely vid😎

Im really enjoying your channel I like the fact that you tell it as it is regardless where you from. I like how you like South African rugby and how you appreciate the passion of our nation

Bush 15 sounds fun. Go Tim

Tim....your are such an amazing ambassador for SA....you rock!

Simbavati and greater Timbavati an absolute must❤❤❤❤

Hey Tim. So chuffed you’re enjoying SA. Thanks again for the brilliant, balanced content 🤙🏼

Proper Bushveld in Timbavati. Good for you visiting in mid winter.

You are immensely fortunate to see a leopard, and more so a leopard with a kill! Love your wildlife 15, although agreeing with others that African wild dogs and hyenas belong in there for their stamina and tenacity

Safari 15 Eight Elephants in the forwards, and a pride of seven Lions in the backs.

You are having such a great time here in our country! You are most welcome! Remember to switch off that big rugby brain and breathe in the moments.

For your locks , you need a pair of giraffes . Thanks for sharing Tim , im super envious of you right now. Tourism is one of our biggest money spinners for the country . Enjoy our SA

There is nothing quite like viewing leopards, lions and elephants from an open vehicle for the first time. Timbavati is a great pick for a safari and I am sure you are going to have a wonderful time. So glad you have had a great leopard sighting.

Ah that gumpole and lapa smell in the bush is something else man.

I’m terrified,,,,,, Ireland fan but the Bok team is as scary as hell. BTW been in RSA and Botswana many many times AWESOME part of the world

Hi Phillip here! I met you briefly at the Craven week. Thanks again for the great content. I really enjoy your point of views and I am glad you are enjoying our beautiful country so far! Can't wait for this weekend! It's gonna be epic and you'll see, there's not a lot of other places on the planet where you will experience a similar atmosphere as Fort Loftus. You will understand what we SAFFERS mean by saying, "They don't know what we know!" after this test series and the later the year against the AB's!

Tim, you are a legend. And you’re right, SA is an incredible country. Enjoy the wildlife. Have you posted a braai vid yet? Great chat with one of my favorite ex-Stormers Juan de Jongh. I have a vague memory of a fantastic try against Wales for the Boks over a dozen years ago. Nice video!

Tim, enjoy the BEST South Africa has to offer : incredible wild life, great hospitality and world class rugby. Cheers mate. 🇿🇦🤝🏻🍻 Keep up the commentary on Rugby. Enjoy your channel immensely!! 😊

Enjoy it bru!

Lekker Tim, luv to have you in our great country and just wanna wish you great and safe travels my buddy. Enjoy everything my man.

Legend,Tim. Love your work. Thanks for showing so much love to SA.

Post some images of the rooms at SIMBAVITI - blow people's minds My Safari Side 1. White Rhino (Powerful, far quicker than you think although somewhat jolly.) 2. Black Rhino (Like a white rhino, but NOT jolly) 3. Hippo (never see them until they start wrecking stuff.) 4. Elephant (pure power. The actual boss of the rugby field. Eben, Bakkies, Martin Johnson) 5. Giraffe (Victor, John Eales) 6. Hyena (relentless, ruthless, but good-natured off the ball) 7. Lion (Speed, power, aggression) 8. Cape Buffalo (The nastiest thing to bump into in a tight spot. Coming off the back of the scrum, that's a nightmare) 9. Honey Badger (smart, quick, ferocious in short bursts, but always starting fights the full-size humans need to fix) 10. Zebra (Dazzle and speed when under pressure. Relies on his kick to stay in the team) 11. Black Mamba (you don't see it until it ruins your day.) 12. Leopard. (hugely powerful and violent. Doesn't like to share) 13. Gemsbok / Oryx (unbelievable speed in a large body. Rapier horns, can take a gap and can run for days) 14. Cheetah (For obvious reasons.) 15. Kudu (Graceful, kicks well, covers lots of ground quickly. Mean swerve and can jump like you cannot believe)

Once again, ecstatic you made it! Glad you are connecting with the right places, occasions and wildlife and then people! Enjoy so glad you made it... Well deserved

Happy to have you here, enjoy

Awesome! Glad you're having a good time.

Welcome to South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦

Elephant definitely listening!

Making me seriously homesick. Thanks for the awesome content.

Tim there is nothing like the bush! Enjoy every moment mate. Good content and good pics.

Glad to see you enjoying our glorious SA Tim and I'm pleased to see you are being hosted so well! I think you should move the rhino to loosehead and put the honey badger at hooker. It's incredibly tough, agile and completely fearless!! Some quick picks seem you asked, lion at 8, warthog at 9, Buffalo at 12, Sable at 13, Springbok at 11, cheetah at 14 👌👌

@Eggchasers Rugby. Hope you enjoying your stay mate! You are very lucky. I live in Sa and have never unfortunately been to see wildlife up close as you have. Have a nice one and stay safe !

Thanks man for all the good rugby content can wait for the next video 👍🏽

Nice to see you here in my hometown, Krugersdorp.

Stoked you have access Tim. Very cool. Been following for awhile. Great commentary and appreciation for the game. Enjoy your time in SA!

Has to be a Staffordshire Bull Terrier in the team. Think Jock of the Bushveld. Totally fearless. A Legend!

Thank u for promoting country and rugby dont be a stranger come back

You are in the place that is as God made it in the beginning, heaven on earth! Enjoy🙏🏻
