Junior Boks crowned champions after 29-all draw

South Africa’s Junior Boks won the Southern Hemisphere Under-20 Rugby Championship unbeaten after drawing 29-29 with New Zealand in their final match.

The Junior Boks scored a bonus-point try early in the second half to clinch the title at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha. The draw ensured they completed the tournament without a loss as reigning Under-20 World Champions.

New Zealand finished second after securing only one victory, against Australia, in the opening match. Australia and Argentina each recorded a single win as well.

The result came on the same day the match was played, according to reports published Saturday evening.

The Junior Springboks lead the 2026 U20 Rugby Championship with 10 points after wins over Argentina and Australia. Despite a premature Saru announcement declaring them champions, tournament rules leave a slim chance for New Zealand or Argentina. They need just one bonus point from their final match against New Zealand on 9 May.
