Women’s Star Booi to captain SA at Rugby World Cup in England


The most capped Springbok women’s player, Nolusindiso Booi, will lead a strong South African squad to the 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup, which kicks off in England in a few weeks.

She is also the most experienced captain, having led the national team in 23 test matches.

19 of the 32 players selected by coach Swys de Bruin have World Cup experience.

All 32 featured this season either against Spain, at the Africa Women’s Cup, against Canada, or the most recent tests against the New Zealand Black Ferns Fifteen.

The squad was named and capped at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg this afternoon.

The Springboks will face Brazil, Italy and France in Pool D.
