However, as the Springboks visited Parliament and then took to the streets of Cape Town on Monday, the trophy lid was safe and secure where it was meant to be.
SA Rugby clarified: "We have it all the time with us."
SA Rugby added that they only take out the trophy and lid when stationary or when there is an official photo being taken.
