Steyn joined the select group of players following the Springboks' dominant 32-12 victory over England in the 2019 final.

Steyn, 32, was part of the 2007 Springbok team which triumphed in Paris - also against England.

Steyn joins compatriot Os du Randt as the only two Springboks to have tasted victory on two occasions.

Du Randt was famously part of the 1995 World Cup-winning side in South Africa, as well as the 2007 success in France.

Steyn and Du Randt are joined by five Wallabies and 14 All Blacks in sipping champagne from the Webb Ellis Cup on multiple occasions.
