(Reuters) - Double Rugby World Cup-winning assistant coach Felix Jones has returned to South Africa's technical team following a short stint with England, officials said on Thursday, as the Springboks confirmed their home venues for the 2025 season.

Former Ireland international Jones played a vital role in helping the Springboks to their World Cup success in 2019 and 2023 but left to become defence coach with Steve Borthwick’s England after South Africa's latter triumph in France.
