South Africa claim historic quarter-final spot

. South Africa reached their first ever Women’s World Cup quarter-final with an impressive 29-24 win over Italy at York Community Stadium. The Springbok Women will meet France – who are second in Pool D after thumping Brazil 84-5 – next Sunday to decide who goes through as group winners. “This is unreal, it is so emotional,” said head coach Swys de Bruin. “We have never made the quarters, we have never beaten Italy. “The nation is so much behind these girls. It is in our blood. We just love it. We try to copy our men’s teams, the sevens, the under-20s. We thought we must catch up now. Our girls were absolutely fantastic.” Player of the match Libbie Van Rensburg added: “This is massive. We spoke about changing history in South Africa for women’s rugby and we did that.” “Every single lady who is in the squad is part of making history and I think we really made South Africa proud.”
