They may be taking on one of the tournament favourites in New Zealand and aren't being given much chance to progress beyond the quarterfinals, but the Springbok Women's rugby team say they are excited about the challenge rather than scared ahead of their World Cup last-eight game on Saturday.

It will be the South Africans' first ever showing in a World Cup knockout game. They progressed to this stage of the tournament being held in England thanks to wins against Brazil and Italy in their pool. They also lost to France.
