JOHANNESBURG : Siya Kolisi has no plans to retire from international rugby and will continue to be available for South Africa, he confirmed on Tuesday when he arrived home to a hero’s welcome after clinching back-to-back World Cups titles in France.

Thousands of Springbok fans welcomed the team at the airport following their epic 12-11 final victory over old foes New Zealand on Saturday, which secured them a record fourth World Cup title.

"Nothing will change, I will still be up for selection," he told reporters."Whether I will be captain, I don’t know, that is up to the new coach, but what matters most is playing in the Springbok jersey. Kolisi said the Springboks’ success should be a beacon of hope for many around the country, as several of the squad have risen from impoverished backgrounds to be world champions.

"For the kid who needs to know that while things are tough for you, and you can’t afford school fees, you have no shoes to walk to school and no food at home, you can make something out of your life. Even when the situation does not look hopeful.
