The Springboks made the most of a long delay at Heathrow Airport after their flight back to South Africa from London was cancelled late on Sunday night.
Having opened their 2024 Test campaign with a comfortable victory over Wales at Twickenham on Saturday afternoon, the Springboks were set to return to South Africa on Sunday to begin preparing for the July Series against Ireland.
It’s after midnight in Heathrow. Flight has been cancelled. The @Springboks are dancing.
Surreal… we’re tired and dirty, don’t know what time our flight will be rescheduled. But the Springboks are dancing#bokke

However, SA Rugby confirmed on Monday morning that the flight was cancelled late on Sunday night following several delays, which forced the team to remain in London for an extra night.
The Springboks are now set to fly to SA late on Monday afternoon and touch down in Johannesburg in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
As a result of this, Rassie Erasmus will announce his squad for the Incoming Series on Tuesday.
