South African police are investigating rape charges against members of New Zealand's Under-20 rugby team.

A 22-year-old Cape Town woman was raped on Friday night after South Africa beat New Zealand in the IRB Junior World Championship final in Cape Town.

A charge was laid on Saturday.

National police spokesperson Vish Naidoo says a rape investigation is on going but could not confirm how many players were thought to be involved.
