Bok Women Sevens stay grounded

THE Springbok Women’s Sevens are refusing to get carried away by their near-flawless display in the Rugby Africa Women’s Sevens Cup in Nairobi, where they outplayed hosts and main contenders Kenya in Sunday’s final to defend their continental title and maintain an unbeaten record in the competition.

“This is the first step in the right direction for us. Now we are going to recover and refocus for the SVNS Division 3, where we want to qualify for Division 2 and get back into the global series,” skipper Nadine Roos said after the victorious campaign in Nairobi, where the team scored 214 points without conceding a single point.

Roos (48) scored the most points for the team and was also named player of the final. Maria Tshiremba (7), Simamkele Namba (6) and Patience Mokone (6) were the top try-scorers.
