Tributes pour in for the retiring Booi
The Mercury
|September 16, 2025
SPRINGBOK prop Babalwa Latsha, alongside coach Syws de Bruyn, have paid tribute to outgoing captain Nolusindiso Booi after the team’s Rugby World Cup quarterfinal defeat to the Black Ferns.
Booi, 40, holds the record as the most capped Bok Women player of all time with 55 appearances, while she has also captained her country 26 times - another team record.
Latsha has co-captained with Booi during the Rugby World Cup where the Boks made history by winning two group matches to reach the knockout stages for the first time.
“She's a phenomenal human being, a phenomenal player, a stalwart,” said the experienced front-row forward, who scored the Boks’ first try in the quarterfinal.
