It was heartbreak for Bok women as Fiji scored a try in the final minute 🏉
The South Africans struggled to get their hands on the ball for long times during the first half, and were also forced to play most of the rugby on their side of the half-way line with some of their kicks gifting the ball to Fiji from which they could launch counter-attacks.
They finally got into a good field position following a mistake by Fiji and after a patient build-up, 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 half-time. That seemed the galvanise the South Africans, and with a number of replacements coming on, the Women Boks played with a spring in their step, working their way upfield and into scoring territory.
