Springbok Women lose second Test to USA Eagles

The Springbok Women lost 19-26 to the USA Eagles in the second Test at Loftus Versfeld on 11 July. The result left the series drawn after South Africa won the first match the previous week. Poor discipline and errors defined the Springbok performance.

The match at Loftus Versfeld ended with the USA Eagles securing a 26-19 victory. South Africa scored three tries through Alichia Arries, Micke Gunter and Ayanda Malinga, while Jakkie Cilliers added two conversions. The USA scored four tries, two each from Hope Rogers and Telesi Uhatafe, with Anabella Vogel kicking three conversions.

A lack of discipline hurt the Springbok Women throughout the contest. They conceded 10 penalties in the first half alone and struggled at the breakdown and in set pieces. The Eagles capitalised on these errors to gain repeated possession.

The halftime score stood at 12-14. South Africa showed some promise with accurate lineouts and strong carries from players such as Aphiwe Ngwevu and Catha Jacobs, yet they could not maintain consistency after the break.

The series concluded in a draw. Both teams displayed scrappy play at times, but the Eagles executed better on attack and defence.
