A number of the Springbok Women who led the SA team to continetal glory in Narirobi recently have been rewarded with places in the Bok squad that will face USA.
Springbok Women's head coach Swys de Bruin has retained the core of the squad that made history at last year's Rugby World Cup after naming a heavily experienced 30-player group for the upcoming two-Test series against the USA.
Twenty-two players from the team's breakthrough run to the World Cup quarter-finals have been locked in for the blockbusting fixtures at Ellis Park on 4 July and Loftus Versfeld on 11 July. A further eight players have been rewarded for standout individual performances during the recent Rugby Africa Women's Cup and the domestic Women's Premier League.
Amongst the highly anticipated new faces are the continental tournament's breakout star, loose forward Logan Welman, powerful prop Thandile Mazwi, and dynamic backline utility Shaunique Alexander, who all earned their maiden international caps during the recent tour of Kenya.
The series will be played as high-profile double-headers alongside the men's senior Springbok side's opening two Nations Championship fixtures, marking an immense milestone for a women's game eager to capitalise on its most successful global campaign to date.
