Uit die skadu van die skrum

WithIngrid Botha, Natascha Louw, Prof Francois Cleophas

Women’s rugby is the fastest-growing team sport in the world. With more than 2.7 million players globally, it is expanding faster than the men’s game. Yet a striking paradox remains: in a country where rugby is deeply ingrained in the national identity women’s stories remain conspicuously absent from the archive. Is women’s rugby truly something new, or has it simply been made invisible? Sports historian professor Francois Cleophas and researcher Natascha Louw speak with former Springbok captains about breaking this silence. Come celebrate the bruises, the muddy jerseys, and the triumphs – a journey straight to the heart of the scrum.
