There is no denying the fact that the Springbok Women have established themselves as a formidable set piece team with good success in converting their dominance in those areas into points, which is why there are no reasons why they should move away from that area of excellence when they play Spain in Elche on Saturday, in what will be South Africa’s first Test of the year.

Having safely arrived in Alicante, Spain from France on Sunday, the Springbok Women had a very productive first training session on Monday and according to Performance Coach, Swys de Bruin, “Operation Spain” is now officially underway.

The Springbok Women outmuscled an England age-group side 50-17 (half-time 24-10) in Marcoussis on Saturday, with a powerful scrum performance providing the foundation for a satisfactory win and end to their first week of touring France and Spain.
