"You've got reconstruction on one side, so you've got no body on one side of Rolleston Ave, but it's absolutely jam packed on the other side of the street."
It's been a beautiful sunny day in Christchurch for the parade.
Dan Carter says it's great to be back in the Garden City.
"We had a good day yesterday in Auckland but a few of us Cantabrians are pretty excited to be back here."
Coach Steve Hansen has been impressed by the turnout.
"Always great supporters here in Canterbury. Just a privilege to be able to be a part of it."
Isaac Cowper had been waiting since 11am, but says he didn't mind because the All Blacks are awesome.
Some fans in Christchurch had been waiting since 9am to catch a glimpse of the All Blacks.
Tamara Lane had been supporting the All Blacks since she was 10 years old, and said it had been worth the wait.
The boys in black travelled through parts of the central city from 2.30pm on the back of utes.
Dan Carter's former secondary school, Christchurch Boys' High, closed its doors early today, so students can join the celebrations.
The school finished shortly before 1.30pm to allow students to attend the victory parade.
A number of All Blacks, including brothers Ben and Owen Franks, Brodie Retallick, Luke Romano, Colin Slade, and coach Steve Hansen are also old boys of the school.
Other schools also finished up early, including Rangi Ruru Girls' School, which cancelled its classes for the afternoon.
Christ's College didn't close, but the school said it made it possible for students to go to the parade.
A ceremony will take place in North Hagley Park this afternoon.
