Overview

  • South Africa delivered a 55-12 victory over the Fijiana XV at HFC Bank Stadium, outscoring Fiji nine tries to two in a match played on Saturday.
  • The Bok Women built the result on forward power and set-piece control, with dominant scrums, lineouts and mauls that provided consistent attacking platform.
  • Libbie Janse van Rensburg captained the side for the first time and moved her Test points tally to 221, while sevens convert Shiniqwa Lamprecht made her Test debut as cap number 194.
  • Fiji’s momentum was disrupted when Alfreda Fisher was initially sin-binned for a late hit on Catha Jacobs and the yellow card was upgraded to a red by referee Jess Ling.
  • The squad will relocate to Nandi to prepare for the second Test in Lautoka next Saturday, with Lerato Makua’s ankle concern, selection choices and any disciplinary reviews to shape the next match.
