Get Behind Our Springbok Women

Cape Town rugby fans have been urged to get to DHL Stadium on Thursday to show their support for the Springbok Women in their final warm-up match before taking on the world in the WXV 2 tournament in the Mother City.

The Bok Women take on Spain (kick off 17h00), fresh from their historic and comprehensive 59-17 victory over the Barbarians at the same venue earlier this month.

Entry costs R35 – tickets are available from Ticketmaster – and the gates open at 15h00. The teams met earlier this year in Spain, with the Bok Women edging to a 15-13 victory.

“We have an incredible opportunity to come together and support our Springbok Women’s team,” said Mr Mark Alexander, president of the South African Rugby Union.

“This match is more than just a game; it’s a chance for us to stand behind our women and show our commitment to rectifying the imbalances in our society.

“The team have trained tirelessly and demonstrated immense dedication to represent our nation on the international stage. By filling the stands and cheering them on, we not only boost their morale but also send a powerful message of unity and support for gender equality in sports.”

The Bok Women are preparing for World Rugby’s exciting six-team WXV 2 tournament, with matches at DHL Stadium and Athlone Stadium. South Africa are pitted against Japan, Australia and Italy on 27 September, 5 and 12 October respectively.

WXV tickets range from R35 for a single ticket to R100 for a package of four adult tickets. Children aged 18 and under only pay R10 if they are accompanied by a paying adult. Tickets are sold per round, meaning they are valid for three matches over two days, and are only available from Ticketmaster.

Mr Alexander said: “Let’s come together as a nation and show our Springbok Women that we believe in them and their potential. Your presence at the stadium will make a significant difference and inspire future generations of female athletes.”
