The apology comes after Springboks supporters in the Northern Areas of Port Elizabeth took to the streets in protest after the trophy tour skipped several scheduled stops along the route.

"Humble apologies to the northern areas of PE today who missed out on our planned visit.

Massive crowds, congestion and a waiting flight to Cape Town meant an unavoidable last minute route change. We are as disappointed as you, and we do apologise sincerely. #ChampionsTogether," the team tweeted from their official account.
