HISTORY MADE IN DUBAI!
What an extraordinary moment for South African rugby. The Springbok Women’s Sevens have been crowned champions of the inaugural HSBC SVNS 3 tournament in Dubai after a fierce 12–5 victory over Argentina in a nail‑biting Final.
This triumph is so much bigger than a scoreline. It’s a statement.
A declaration of resilience, belief, and the unstoppable rise of women’s sport in South Africa.
Congratulations, Queens of Dubai.
South Africa celebrates you today.
