The South Africa national under-20 rugby union team (often referred to as the "Baby Boks") are South Africa's junior team at national level. They have been competing in the IRB Junior World Championship since it began in 2008. The under-20 tournament replaced the previously held Under-19 and Under-21 Rugby World Championships.
The team won the IRB Junior World Championship in 2012, when the tournament was also hosted in South Africa. They beat New Zealand 22–16 in the final in Cape Town.[1]
