De Bruin set to ring the changes for France World Cup clash
Daily News
|September 05, 2025
COACH Swys de Bruin is set to make several changes to the Springbok Women’s side to face France in their final Women’s Rugby World Cup Pool D match in Northampton, England, on Sunday.
The Springbok Women emerged from their historic win over Italy last Sunday with a number of sore bodies — a result that saw them qualify for the quarterfinals of the showpiece event for the very first time.
A number of bench and fringe players could be handed a run against France, allowing many of the first-choice players some more recovery time ahead of a potential quarterfinal clash against New Zealand or Ireland.
The winner of the Franklin’s Gardens clash between South Africa and France will face the team finishing second in Pool C. France are heavy favourites to win, but they may also rest a few stars with one eye on the knockout stage.
