SA Sevens benefiting Bok Women

Today at 05:37 AM

SPOTLIGHT: South Africa's Women's sevens system is increasingly serving to benefit the fifteens game.

Under the guidance of South Africa Women's Sevens head coach Rendfred Dazel and assistant coach Cecil Africa, the team has been a dominant force in Africa.

Earlier this month they secured back-to-back Rugby Africa Women's Sevens Champions.

The side went unbeaten in Ghana and qualified for the 2025 World Rugby Challenger Series.

Fifteens stars Ayanda Malinga, Zintle Mpupha, Nadine Roos, Felicia Jacobs and Maria Tshiremba were all part of the triumphant sevens team after representing the Springboks Women in the WXV 2.

Although it was certainly a quick turnaround for the players, it is nothing new within the SA Rugby Women's set-up.
