First group of Springboks arrive home
Springboks fans have gathered at the OR Tambo Internationl Airport to meet the team on their arrival from Yokohama.
The first group of Rugby World Cup champions have landed after making history when the national team beat England 32-12 on Saturday.
Eyewitness News (EWN) sports reporter Tholakele Mnganga is at the airport.
It is a beautiful feeling, I am actually getting goosebumps.
