# Rugby: The Springboks are world champions for exactly six years today. On this day in 2019, South Africa demolished England 32-12 in the World Cup final in Tokyo, Japan, to clinch the Webb Ellis Trophy for the third time. That was followed up with a one-point victory over old foes, the All Blacks, in 2023’s final in Paris after the Boks overcame hosts France, and England in the earlier knock-out matches. The Boks will retain their title at least until 2027’s World Cup in Australia.
