The last time the Springbok Women played against Spain, they needed a late penalty to emerge victorious, and they will hope for an easier outing in todays Test at the Cape Town Stadium (5pm start).

The match is part of the Bok Womens preparations for the upcoming WXV 2 tournament in the same region, with fixtures against Japan (September 27, Cape Town Stadium, 4pm) and Australia (October 5, Athlone Stadium, 5pm) ahead of next years Rugby World Cup in England.

Jakkie Cilliers had to slot a three-pointer in the closing 10 minutes to seal a 15-13 win for South Africa against Spain in Valladolid in March, but with new coach Swys de Bruin in tow, they will be keen to showcase their attacking skills this afternoon.

The Bok Women dominated up front in their clash against Spain, but battled to convert that ascendancy into points with a number of handling errors and poor execution.

The South Africans, though, scored some classy tries in dispatching the Barbarians 59-17 in a warm-up game at Cape Town Stadium, which was the curtain-raiser to the Springboks beating the All Blacks 18-12 on September 7.
