Baby Boks celebrate ‘greatest day’
The Star
|July 21, 2025
JUNIOR Springbok captain Riley Norton said team unity and passionate defence combined to produce “the greatest day of my life” as New Zealand were beaten 23-15 in the final of the World Rugby Under-20 Championship in Italy on Saturday night.
It was the Baby Boks’ first victory in the tournament since 2012, when they also beat New Zealand - that time at Newlands.
“I’m quite emotional, but I’m just so proud,” Norton said. “The amount of work that we put in after not a great U20 Rugby Championship ...
"Our backs were against the wall and we just came out and gave it everything. The group is unbelievable - the management, the coaches - we all pulled into a common idea. It wasn’t easy at times, but yes, this is the greatest day of my life.”
Norton said a commitment to the basics laid the foundation for the win over their longtime rivals.
“We had to show up physically. That’s our DNA.
