Springbok Women Showcase Dominance Over Spain In World Cup Warm-up

The Springbok Women secured a 48-26 victory over Spain in Alicante on Saturday, with their powerful pack laying the foundation for a strong performance.

The South Africans scored five first-half tries, of which three were converted, as they built a deserved 31-5 lead over their hosts.

The Bok Women added a further two tries to put them out of reach in the second half. They rang the changes in an effort to test different combinations in a World Cup year and give the players much-needed game time.

The Spanish side capitalised on this, giving the Springboks a taste of their own medicine as they piled on the pressure and were rewarded with three well-deserved tries near the end.

In the first half, the powerful South African pack laid the foundation for a solid lead. They dominated the set-piece collisions and ensured the Bok Women enjoyed the majority of possession and territory.
