With reports that two suspects attempted to steal the Webb Ellis trophy, South Africans can breathe a sigh of relief that the valuable item is actually in safe hands.
In pictures posted on Instagram, Rassie’s twin daughters Carli and Nikki posed a storm with the golden goblet, taken at their home.
“After four years, Webbie is back home,” Carli posted in a snap.

In addition to his twin daughters and a third younger one, Rassie Erasmus is also “dad” to an English bulldog named Frank, who regularly features on his Twitter account.
