VIDEO: The boys are back in town

WATCH as injured players Malcolm Marx and Makazola Mapimpi rejoin their Springbok teammates at their World Cup base at the Le Domaine des Vanneaux Hôtel and golf spa near the quaint commune of Presles north of Paris.

Marx, who went down at training having his leg caught between the legs of a teammate in a contact session last month, hobbled back into the hotel on crutches and his damaged knee in a brace.

Mapimpi suffered a fractured cheekbone in the 49-18 pool match win over Tonga last month.

He was involved in a head-on-head collision with Tonga scrumhalf Augustine Pulu in the first half, which forced him to leave the field.

Both will be watching their teammates play New Zealand in the Final at Stade de France in Paris on Sunday.
