South Africa will rely on the experience and skill of Nolusindiso Booi, their most-capped women’s rugby player. Booi earned her 50th cap earlier this year and is a dominant force in the second row, known for her strength in set pieces and relentless work rate. Her leadership and physicality will be key as the Springboks aim for a double championship title.

The Springbok Women have shown steady improvement over the past two years and are arguably the most improved team in World Rugby. They are currently ranked 12th in the world and are making their fifth consecutive appearance in the Women’s Rugby World Cup since debuting in 2006. In the previous edition, they failed to progress past the pool stage after three straight defeats.
