Springbok Women step out of Boks’ shadow
Cape Argus
|September 04, 2025
SOUTH Africa's women's team are stepping out from the monumental shadow of the four-time world champion Springboks as they prepare for their first-ever quarterfinal appearance in a Rugby World Cup by taking on France in their last pool match this weekend.
-
The team has come a long way since disappearing in the 2010s, drawing more attention as they develop, though they still do not enjoy the public adoration reserved for the men's squad.
Under the guidance of Swys de Bruin, the Springbok Women take on France on Sunday in their final pool game, having already secured a history-making place in the quarterfinals following their battling 29-24 win against higher-ranked Italy in match-day two.
"We are sitting on a goldmine that can explode if we're really serious about it,” said former coach Stanley Raubenheimer, who led the team's revival from 2018 to 2022.
