Massive win against Brazil was the Boks’ statement of intent

- By Kgomotso Mokoena

After obliterating Brazil 66-6 in their opening 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup group match last Sunday, the Springbok Women now turn their focus on Italy, one of the most unpredictable teams in the tournament.

Today’s Pool D match will take place at the LNER Community Stadium, an 8500-capacity, multipurpose venue in York, England where the World Cup is taking place.

The match will kickoff at 4:30pm (SA time) and a win for the South Africans will secure them a spot in the last eight stage of the competition.

Their emphatic win over the Brazilians has set them on the right groove going forward and it was also a statement of intent to their opponents.

According to the SA Rugby website, immediately after the victory, they were given Monday off to rest and recharge.
