Rassie Erasmus and Siya Kolisi, respectively coach and captain of South Africa world rugby champion, will return home Tuesday, announced Sunday the South African federation.

Halved of their third world title, won Saturday in Yokohama against England (32-12), South Africans will not come back from Japan all together. Erasmus and Kolisi will be among the first to come in and give a press conference at the airport.

All Springboks are expected to be back on Wednesday, starting Thursday's tour across the country.
