Swys de Bruin says his Springbok Women’s team is ready to elevate their game when they confront Australia’s Wallaroos in Cape Town on Saturday.
Dumke takes over from Sizophila Solontsi at flanker, while Danelle Lochner swops jerseys with Booi in the other change to the starting pack. De Bruin again opted for a split of six forwards and two backs on the bench, from where scrumhalf Felicia Jacobs and utility back Byrhandré Dolf are in line to make their first WXV appearances this year, while Solontsi will join the finishers this time around.De Bruin reiterated the fact that the Rugby World Cup in England next year remains the main focus in evolving and selecting the Springbok Women squad and said this weekend’s match-23 were deemed best for the Australian challenge.
“Injuries are also part of the game. Last week we lost Lindelwa Gwala and this time around, Libbie is not available. As is always the case with injuries, it does create opportunities for the next player.” “For us though, it is all about ourselves and how we can best elevate our strenghts and minimise our errors. We have a strategy for this match, have prepared well and will be ready to deliver a good performance at Athlone Stadium.”15 Eloise Webb, 14 Jakkie Cilliers, 13 Zintle Mpupha, 12 Chumisa Qawe, 11 Ayanda Malinga, 10 Nadine Roos, 9 Unam Tose, 8 Aseza Hele, 7 Sinazo Mcatshulwa, 6 Lusando Dumke , 5 Vainah Ubisi, 4 Danelle Lochner, 3 Babalwa Latsha, 2 Roseline Botes, 1 Sanelisiwe Charlie.
