It really looks to me that you need to immigrate to South Africa. Like me - as a Belgian guy - I was simply swept away by the beauty and energy of this country and will be spending the rest of my life here. Coolest place on earth! Long live the biltong, braais and the beautiful weather. And hey... the rugby madness and excitement are not bad either...😎

It is absolutely vital for the world to know and understand that these projects, these schools are build, funded and managed by the people. That is the 'x factor' that people do not get to see or understand completely. In South Africa we solve problems by getting involved, working hard, working together. Waiting for government to help is just not an option. We love you Tim and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for what you do for us as a country.

❤Hi Tim. I am a rugby coach as well as a school teacher. I'm located in Capetown. My rugby under 17 won the Vuka league this year. My under 19 team made it to the semi final. We have a lot of challenges in our community and at school. So many boys wants to play rugby but can't because of the challenge they face. Our school does not have any money for transport or rugby gear or anything rugby related. We have a big open space but no rugby field. We were practing in a little space this year but still didn't stop us. We had no gear but it did not stop us. Our guys can't come to practice because of shooting and gang violence in our community but still it did not stop us. Not all educators at school love the sport or want to help our youth. I'm trying everything I can to keep this boys driven and going and giving them hope that there is a better life out there. It's getting too much for me to carry this burden alone. I kindly ask for any assistance or even just to come and talk to my boys when you in Cape town again. If you know anyone who can help us to atleast get gear or balls or any rugby equipment I will be so happy and thankful. ❤ Please get back to me ❤

He knows more about South African rugby culture than most South Africans. To think that he did not see the documentary is disrespectful.

When we won the world cup I went and bought a Springbok beanie for a chap that works at out local veggie shop...it gave us something special to speak about...I had actually told him the day before the RWC that I was nervous....he said he was confident we would win....so now we always have a few words about the next game or player news....it really does bring our nation together....you nailed it with your video....I think you need to add these skills to your cv and go knocking on Netflix's door...you are the embodiment of the game....

You know Tim, Eggchasers is the only channel I have subscribed to and the reasons are listed below. As a Saffer who has been living in the UK for 4 years now; I find it hard to articulate the spirit of a South African to Brits and other global people I meet. Some find us to be arrogant, to direct or even overly driven to do well and succeed. You have a clear understaning of our culture, passion, desperation, focus and dedermination that drives us as a people. With all humility, we try to share the spirit of ubuntu/gees with people globally. Seeing you in tears today made me cry and reinforced the sacrifices of immigrating; keeping that fire alive that all Saffers have (Including you)! You are a legend pal and I wish you, yours and your channel well!

I am privileged - at the tender age of 75 - to witness this miracle that goes such a long way into galvanising SA to stand up to more than 30 years of gradually breaking down our economy and the lives of the most vulnerable through lies aimed at dividing us more along racial lines. Thank you, your emotion resonates in harmony with all of those in our country striving for healing.

It was the best thing about school, and I still dream of wearing the green and gold, but at almost 60 years of age, it can only be as a fan. I'm blessed to be able to be at Twickenham tomorrow, and although you're my favourite Englishman, I hope the Bokke put their foot on the gas and keep it there. Go Bokke!

Gosh Tim you got my day started with some serious sobbing. Working in the travel industry I have had the pleasure of visiting Grootbos a couple of times and it truly is an amazing property, but what makes them amazing is all they do. I certainly hope you got to meet the owner Michael who I am proud to call a friend as he is a character himself with a giant heart of gold. I could not be more proudly South African and every time I watch your videos it makes my heart smile to know that the continent and her people have transformed yet another person. There is something about South Africa that just really creeps into one's soul and never leaves. My fellow countrymen truly are some of the most wonderful people and I am thrilled you got to experience it. It is also incredible to know that you also now know what we know (yes the translation from Dricus) and are sharing it with the world. Being that I am half British (my Dad was born there), whenever we play England it is a bit tough, but not gonna lie....my blood runs green and gold forever and you know why :-). Thanks for sharing this wonderful video, despite it bringing me to tears. Good Luck tomorrow and you know I will be waiting to see your after game thoughts immediately following the game. GO BOKKE!!!

Wow Tim,I appreciate you bro🫂,you got me all in tears with you. On a Friday afternoon here in SA🇿🇦. They didn't show you the true nature of how those girls train, as I saw they were still wearing their school shoes at the training field. We don't do that in the townships,we play or practice barefoot, and team kits we only see on game day. Where one person that's not playing assist the one that's playing with his/her footwear for the game day. It's way deeper than this. Thank you for sharing your experience. Through sport we have hope for a better tomorrow. Much love from 🇿🇦

On a lighter note, the tall coach who was holding the pad, is an amazing cricketer. We played a social club cricket game and I dropped him on 36, but luckily redeemed myself by getting his wicket when he was on 195! Corrie, jou bliksem.

The GNU government of South Africa, the Minister for Culture and Sport, must see this - I'm a Saffa living in the UK, but I hope Gayton McKenzie can show Cyril Ramaphosa this. Thank you Boet!

My eloquent and very heartfelt 'Thank you Tim' comment, gone. I lost it. Anyway, thank you Tim. You get us like few other people do and sometimes we need someone to remind us how far we've come since 1995. You also seem to know a fair bit about rugby, which is nice!

Dude your a legend. So glad I found your channel before the world cup. You talk from the heart, and you talk sense. Not many fan's can see beyond their own team. You do and that's when your love for the sport really shows. Us south africans might have a hard exterior when looking from the outside, but as I am sure you have found, it is just our passion. Passion for the country, for our people and for our sport and life... you can see beyond this barrier and that's why your now part of the family. Keep growing your channel. Bloody legend

Tim, what a fantastic emotional enlightening video. I bumped into you at the Houwhoek farm stall as you made your way back to Cape Town for the test. It was a pleasure to meet you then, and now having seen this video, even more of a pleasure. Good luck to England tomorrow....sort of. 😊. Marke.

Dude... I was watching this at work. And you brought tears to my eyes. I had to rush to the men's room to just gather myself. TIM!!! Warn me before you drop such a heartfelt video. I run a team of consultants and all of them asked me why I was crying 🥺... This was amazing. I will be very cautious next time you drop a video 🥲😅
