De Bruin wants Springbok Women's forwards to turn up the heat against Black Ferns
The Mercury
|September 12, 2025
“LEAVE everything on the field. We will carry you off if you are too tired to walk at the end of it. This is the biggest game of your life, go out and enjoy it.”
This was the clear and emphatic message from Springbok Women’s coach Swys de Bruin to his charges ahead of their historic Women’s Rugby World Cup quarterfinal against New Zealand’s Black Ferns on Saturday afternoon (2pm kickoff).
With this in mind, De Bruin has decided to go with a 7-1 bench split in favour of his forwards for the clash, when he announced his team on Thursday — looking at his big pack of forwards to empty their tanks in their first-ever World Cup knockout match.
De Bruin also welcomed back his key players for the match, with captain and lock Nolusindiso Booi returning to the side as one of 10 changes to the starting team that lined up against France last Sunday.
