ZASouth Africa's women's rugby team, the Springbok Women, are preparing for a rematch against New Zealand's Black Ferns at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg. This match serves as a curtain-raiser to the third Greatest Rivalry Test between the Springboks and All Blacks. Less than a year after losing to the Black Ferns in the World Cup quarter-finals, the Springbok Women aim to showcase their progress. They recently drew a series against the USA and defeated Fiji twice, indicating improvements in both performance and strategy. Players like Catha Jacobs and Vainah Ubisi express confidence in their growth, particularly noting enhanced skills beyond traditional physicality. Ubisi, who recovered from a knee injury, feels more prepared and determined to perform well this time.
