Springbok women gear up for final match against hosts Madagascar

Date: Jun 13, 2025

The Springbok Women will conclude their Rugby Africa Women’s Cup campaign against tournament hosts Madagascar on Sunday, before returning to South Africa (SA) on Monday.

The national side heads into their final fixture buoyed by a hard-fought 19–12 midweek victory over Kenya in the second round of the competition, currently underway in Antananarivo. The tightly contested match tested the Boks' resolve and showcased their ability to adapt under pressure.

Springbok Women assistant coach Franzel September described the performance as encouraging, saying the result “ticked many boxes” for the technical team. He noted that although the match featured some puzzling decisions from the match officials, the players remained composed and adjusted their approach accordingly.

The win marked SA’s second successive triumph in the 2025 edition of the continental tournament.
