South Africa fought back from a halftime deficit to defeat Kenya 35-20 and secure a fifth consecutive Rugby Africa Women’s Cup title in Nairobi.
Nairobi, Kenya (01 June 2026) – They’ve done it again!
The Springbok Women are once again the queens of African rugby after battling past Kenya to claim a fifth consecutive Rugby Africa Women’s Cup title in Nairobi on Sunday.
Playing in front of a passionate home crowd, Kenya pushed the defending champions all the way, but South Africa showed their class when it mattered most to secure a 35-20 victory and extend their dominance on the continent.
The win was anything but straightforward. The Springbok Women found themselves trailing 8-7 at halftime after Kenya produced a spirited first-half display, refusing to give the visitors any room to settle into their rhythm.
But champions find a way.
South Africa came out firing after the break and produced a decisive burst of rugby that ultimately proved the difference. Tries from Naima Hlatshwayo, Logan Welman and Jakkie Cilliers in a dominant spell swung the momentum firmly in the Springbok Women’s favour as they turned a narrow deficit into a commanding lead.
Kenya, however, refused to back down. The Lionesses struck twice in the closing stages to reduce the gap and set up a tense finish, with the home supporters sensing a dramatic comeback.
South Africa kept their composure. The victory capped another successful campaign for the Springbok Women, who once again showed why they remain the benchmark for women’s rugby in Africa.
There you have it, five tournaments. Five titles. The Springbok Women’s reign as Rugby Africa Women’s Cup champions continues.
Champions of Africa, for a fifth time in a row
