Bok Women target maiden playoff berth
The Mercury
|August 14, 2025
THE Springbok Women plan to ride the momentum from their recent top performances into the Women’s Rugby World Cup, which starts next weekend in England.
The South Africans will take on Brazil in their opening match on Sunday, August 24, coming off the high of beating a Black Ferns XV in their second match at Athlone Stadium.
The Bok Women are currently in camp in Johannesburg before they jet off to the United Kingdom.
In Group A, they will also face Italy and France.
The Bok Women have had four tough matches — two against second-ranked Canada and two against the Black Ferns XV — over the past month and a half in preparation for the World Cup.
The Tests against Canada were rather one-sided but gave the Boks a clear idea of what needed improvement ahead of the global showpiece. However, they performed much better against the New Zealanders, who brought a second-string team to Cape Town to take on the South Africans.

But beneath the headlines lies a far more consequential opportunity: the chance for South Africa - with its business leadership at the forefront - to redefine its global narrative, champion multilateralism and strengthen its position as a bridge between the West and the Global South.
