The Junior Springboks are expected to return to South Africa before midday on Monday following their successful title defence at the World Rugby Under-20 Championship in Georgia.
The Baby Boks retained their world crown after defeating France 16-5 in the tournament final in Tbilisi over the weekend, successfully defending the title they won in Italy last year.
The victory marks South Africa's third World Rugby Under-20 Championship title, adding to previous triumphs in 2012, 2025 and now 2026.
By defending their title, the Junior Springboks become only the fourth nation to achieve back-to-back victories in the prestigious tournament.
The triumph also extends the team's unbeaten run to 18 matches, underlining their dominance on the international junior rugby stage.
The latest success caps off a remarkable season for the young South Africans, who earlier this year also claimed the Under-20 Rugby Championship for the first time in the competition's history.
The achievement means the Junior Springboks now hold both major Under-20 rugby titles simultaneously, cementing their status as the world's leading junior rugby team.
The squad is expected to receive a warm welcome from supporters upon their arrival home after another memorable chapter in South African rugby history.
