Fiji scored a match-winning try at the death to dump the Springbok Women out of the World Cup in their Pool C clash in Auckland on Sunday.
After yet another slow start at Eden Park, the Bok Women stepped things up in the second half, with Aseza Hele and Janse van Rensburg making the Fijian defence work hard, and the South Africans managed to keep their opponents scoreless for 39 minutes, but another unforced error ended up costing them victory.
Zintle Mpupha finally found some space to score South Africa’s first try, and Janse van Rensburg’s conversion made it 7-7 with mere minutes left until the break. Earlier, hosts New Zealand unleashed a high-octane attacking style to beat Wales 56-12 in a one-sided match. Prolific winger Portia Woodman scored two of New Zealand’s 10 tries as the defending champions remained unbeaten after two rounds of matches.
