The Springbok Women celebrate their record-extending triumph in the Rugby Africa Women's Cup final in Nairobi on Sunday.
The Springbok Women were made to work for their fifth successive Rugby Africa Women's Cup title as they fought off a determined Kenya challenge to claim a hard-earned 35-20 victory in Nairobi on Sunday.
Despite entering the match as favourites, South Africa found themselves trailing 8-7 at half-time against a Kenyan side buoyed by passionate home support and determined to spoil the champions' coronation.
The victory completed another successful continental campaign for the Bok Women, but only after they overcame one of their sternest tests of the tournament.
South Africa appeared in control for long periods, dominating possession and territory, yet struggled to convert that advantage into points as Kenya's defence repeatedly held firm and disrupted their rhythm at the breakdown.
