Springbok World Cup winning stars Handré Pollard and Jasper Wiese appear to have shrugged off babalaas from the long and wild trophy tour celebrations. 

Their club Leicester Tigers in England has released a video of the duo working on the training field though it remains to be seen if they will be deemed fit to play in the next Premiership match against Harlequins on Saturday. 

Pollard and Wiese were part of the boozy Springboks trophy tour celebrations in Gauteng, Cape Town, Durban and East London where they were showered with adulation by appreciative South Africans last week.

Most South African players crowned champions after beating New Zealand in France are only likely to be back at their franchises by the end of the month and in some cases in December. 

Franchises have been informed World Cup players will be given an enforced three-week rest.
