The Springbok Women’s rugby team has emerged victorious in the Rugby Africa Women’s Cup, clinching the African champions title. Under the guidance of interim head coach Louis Koen, the team won all three games and secured a spot in the forthcoming WXV 2 tournament.

Benefits of the Tour to Madagascar

Koen praised the team’s exceptional efforts and expressed gratitude to Rugby Africa for creating the opportunity. The tour to Madagascar served as a platform for integrating younger players into test rugby and fostering a sense of unity within the team. Koen emphasized the importance of bonding as a team, which will positively influence their performance moving forward.

Progress Made by the Springbok Women

Despite the lopsided scores in the three matches, Koen maintained that the progress made by the Springbok Women cannot be solely measured by the numbers. The team faced considerable challenges in terms of physicality and unyielding opponents, particularly in the match against Madagascar, fueled by the support of a massive home crowd.

Unity and Togetherness of the Team

The sense of unity and togetherness was echoed by Chumisa Qawe, who captained the team throughout their three-test tour. Qawe highlighted the importance of supporting each other on the field and expressed her pride in the way they responded to challenges. The focus was not solely on winning the Cup, but on improving as a team and becoming a more cohesive squad.

Dedication to Continuous Improvement

The Springbok Women’s dedication to their game plan and ongoing improvement was evident throughout the tournament. Libbie Janse van Rensburg, one of the team’s standout performers, also shed light on the demanding nature of the competition. She acknowledged the physical toll of playing three matches in eight days but commended the team for maintaining their resolve.

Looking Ahead to the WXV 2 Tournament

As the Springbok Women celebrate their recent success and look ahead to the WXV 2 tournament, their journey serves as an inspiring example of the power of unity, determination, and continuous improvement. With the continued support of their coaching staff and sponsors, the team is poised to make a lasting impact on the world of women’s rugby.
