The Bok women rallied from a 34-26 defeat to a New Zealand Black Ferns XV side last month to secure an important 41-24 win in Cape Town on the weekend. Coach Swys de Bruin called the result one of the best performances he had seen since he joined the squad more than a year ago, adding it showed they were close to where they wanted to be in their last fixture before the World Cup.
