Women’s Premier rugby division march on

Defending Women’s Premier Division champions DHL Western Province and the Border Ladies earned back-to-back wins in the competition in a gripping second round on May 15, while the Cell C Sharks Women earned their first win of the season.

DHL Western Province scored five tries to one against the Blue Bulls Women, who were down to 12 players at a point due to their ill-discipline in Pretoria, for a 29-8 victory, while a strong first half by the Border Ladies laid the foundation for their 17-10 victory against the EP Queens in Port Elizabeth.

The Cell C Sharks Women, meanwhile, ground out a narrow 7-5 victory against the Boland Dames in a soaking wet Wellington.
