The South African Rugby Union has confirmed that they have partnered with FNB as a sponsor of the Springbok women’s team.

Image: @WomenBoksSouth African rugby has been enjoying a purple patch in recent weeks. The Blitzboks claimed the gold medal at the Commonwealth Games, the Springboks produced a crushing victory over arch-rivals the All Blacks in the opening match of the Rugby Championship, while the Women’s national team recorded their first victory on foreign soil against Japan two weeks ago.

The Springbok Women fought back from a game down, to tie their two-match series against the Japanese, winning the second test 20-10. “It just alleviates a lot of pressure on the players because they had to do it all on their own. I will mention an example of a couple of players who have to travel 100kms in and out for training. They pay a lot of money to play this game and they are determined to do well. Having a big brand like FNB behind this team you can see the stress that has been relieved not to worry about transport is massive,” says coach Stanley Raubenheimer.

“For us, it’s something that is taking time. It is getting better day by day there is a process there showing that we are getting better. We will be equal as time goes by because we have professional players on the system now and things change,” says captain Nolusindiso Booi.
