The Springbok Women began the defence of their Rugby Africa Women's Cup title with a comprehensive 64-5 victory over Madagasacar at the RFUEA Grounds in Nairobi on Saturdau afternoon.
Young loose forward Logan Welman announced herself on the world stage in emphatic fashion as the Springbok Women ran out comfortable 64–5 winners over Madagascar in their opening match of the Rugby Africa Women's Cup in Nairobi on Saturday afternoon.
The 21-year-old Western Province number eight looked remarkably assured on defence and in attack for the defending champions at the RFUEA Grounds — capping an exceptional performance with a stunning solo try in a second half completely dominated by the Bok Women.
South Africa had already taken firm control of the contest before the break, leading 26–5 after clinical tries from Jakkie Cilliers, Alichia Arries, Aphiwe Ngwevu, and Chuma Qawe. However, it was after half-time that the defending champions truly flexed their impressive squad depth.
Soon after the restart, prop Nombuyekezo Mdliki powered over from close range as the South African forwards began to heavily dominate the physical exchanges. The replacements then made an immediate impact on the park, with an entirely new front row introduced by the coaching staff — including a memorable first Test cap for physical prop Thandile Mazwi.
