By The Springbok Women’s journey to Exeter is more than rugby – it’s a story of perseverance, pride, and possibility. Even after a tough loss to France, the team embodies the spirit of ‘Playing On’.
The Springbok Women have made history, securing a place in the Rugby World Cup quarterfinals for the very first time. After a dominant win over Italy and a hard-fought clash against France, the team finished second in Pool D – setting up a high-stakes showdown with tournament giants, New Zealand, this Saturday in Exeter (2pm SA time).
Backed by partner OMO’s Stay Unbeatable philosophy, the Bok Women have shown that true victory goes beyond the scoreboard – it’s about resilience, unity, and the relentless belief that South Africa’s women’s rugby belongs on the world stage.
The team heads into Saturday’s quarterfinal with confidence drawn from their historic 41-24 win over New Zealand’s Black Ferns XV at Cape Town’s Athlone Stadium in August. That victory, combined with lessons from their match against France, has prepared them for one of the biggest tests of their careers.
OMO’s partnership with SA Rugby, launched earlier this year, celebrates the grit and determination that define the Bok Women and everyday South Africans alike.
he upcoming clash in Exeter isn’t just another match – it’s a defining moment for women’s sport in South Africa. With a nation rallying behind them, the Springbok Women are proving that to Stay Unbeatable is to rise, no matter the challenge.
