With women's rugby on the rise, young female players shared their love for the sport during the Valke Junior Day at the Benoni Northerns Sports Club on August 9.
Skyla Delport (Benoni Northerns): Rugby is an interesting sport. I find hockey and netball boring. I love rugby because I have fun all the time while playing.
Emma Davidtz (Springs Rugby Club): I grew up playing with my brother and cousin. I love the game. I love the sportsmanship and being part of a team.
Annè Kellie (Kempton Park Wolves): I want to play rugby because it’s fun. My cousin and I play tackle rugby every day. I want to become a Springbok.
Chloe van der Merwe (Boksburg Owls): I’ve always loved the sport. I fell in love with it from very young. My favourite team is the Springboks.
Macy-Leigh Botes (Benoni Northerns): I’ve been playing for three years. I love playing in a team. I play as a prop and sometimes hooker. I want to play professionally for the Springboks Women. My favourite player is Blaine Golden.
