Nine players capped at XVs in Springboks' Challenger Series squad

Springboks coach Renfred Dazel has included just one uncapped sevens player – XVs out-half Libbie Janse van Rensburg – in an experienced women’s squad for this weekend’s opening leg of the 2023 World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series at Markotter Stadium in Stellenbosch.

The two-weekend series opens this Thursday with South Africa taking on the Czechs and Mexico before completing their pool on Friday against Madagascar, and the inclusion of van Rensburg means that nine of the 13-strong squad on duty have Test match experience in XVs.

While van Rensburg, who earned her 12th Test cap earlier this month when playing for South Africa versus Spain, has yet to play in the World Series, she has international sevens experience having played for an SA Select squad when they toured France in 2016, a trip that coincidentally had Dazel coaching in his first stint with the national side.

    Black Fern Stacey Fluhler on winning gold at the World Sevens Series in Hong Kong

    Dazel has included six players from the squad that last ran out for the Springboks at the HSBC Cape Town Sevens in December – Rights Mkhari, Kemisetso Baloyi, Marlize de Bruin, Nadine Roos, Simamkele Namba and Liske Lategan.

    “I’m really happy with the squad and am going into this Challenger Series knowing that we prepared well,” said Dazel. “The big difference between this squad and the one that played in Cape Town last December is the amount of preparation we had for this. Last time around, we had a week to prepare for the Dubai Invitational, which was followed a week later by the Cape Town tournament.

    “We had now had a good preparation and the players really worked hard to put themselves in the best position possible for this series. The fact that we could also have access to Nadine, Libbie and Jakkie (Cilliers) to add depth to our squad is much appreciated. We had a good run and will approach this weekend’s tournament with the knowledge that we are as well prepared as we can be.”

    SPRINGBOKS: 1. Rights Mkhari, 2. Sizophila Solontsi, 3. Zintle Mpupha (co-captain), 4. Simamkele Namba, 5. Liske Lategan, 6. Kemisetso Baloyi, 7. Mathrin Simmers (co-captain), 8. Nadine Roos, 9. Eloise Webb, 10. Marlize de Bruin, 11. Ayanda Malinga, 12. Zandile Masuku, 13. Libbie Janse van Rensburg.

    Can 'great' Gibson-Park best 'freakish' Dupont in scrum-half clash for the ages?

    ARE YOU A VICTIM OF INVESTMENT OR BITCOIN SCAM? Visit FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY FOR HELP.


    Living in Vancouver, I was once a victim of a devastating crypto scam that nearly destroyed my financial life. I had invested SGD 29,000 into a platform that promised high returns. It seemed like a great opportunity at first, but I soon realized it was a fraud. The scammers convinced me that I needed to pay a withdrawal fee to access my funds. Desperate to recover my money, I complied and sent the payment. However, once I paid the withdrawal fee, everything changed. The scammer blocked me completely, and I couldn’t reach them. My funds were gone, and I was left with nothing. The loss of such a large sum was incredibly traumatic, especially since it caused a significant breakdown in my relationship with my husband. The financial strain was overwhelming, and I didn’t know where to turn. For months, I searched desperately for help, hoping to recover my lost money. I reached out to several recovery services, but most of them seemed to offer little more than empty promises. Just when I was starting to lose hope, I found Folkwin Expert Recovery. Their team stood out from the rest professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping me. Folkwin Expert Recovery took the time to understand my situation. They carefully listened to the details of the scam and immediately began working on a recovery plan. Although the process wasn’t easy, their expertise and persistence paid off. After some time, they successfully tracked down the scammer and recovered the full SGD 29,000 that I had lost. The relief I felt was indescribable, and it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I can’t express enough how grateful I am to Folkwin Expert Recovery for their hard work. They went above and beyond to ensure I got my money back, and their efforts not only restored my finances but also my peace of mind. If you’re in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to them. Via What's app:+1 (740)705-0711, Or email: Folkwinexpertrecovery(@)tech-center(.)com for assistance, They made all the difference in my recovery journey, and I’m forever grateful for their support.

    Warm greetings,

    Hello everyone here, I am here to warn you to please do not make the same mistake I made in the past, I was a victim of a bitcoin scam. I’m so glad that I have gotten all my funds back without any stress thanks to CYBERSPACE HACK PRO company. For me. I am posting this review because I want to be of help to someone out there going through a lot to recover their bitcoin even though many people told me it’s impossible. I invested about $632,000 from a Binary Operation company I found on Telegram. After much depositing, I decided to withdraw after several weeks but the withdrawal wasn’t successful. I contacted the binary operation through their email and phone number, though I didn’t get any response from them and that was when everything clicked that I was scammed. Some weeks later I got an email from them insisting I should invest more money if I want to withdraw my money which I rejected, and I never heard from them again. I was really devastated at this moment and felt so bad that my hard earned money was gone. Then I was introduced to this wonderful recovery company Called CYBER SPACE HACK PRO company, so I emailed them Cyberspacehackpro(@)rescueteam.com explained to them what happened and all I had to do was to follow there instructions so they can help me recover my funds which they did and i got all my money back i am so happy i decided to share my good news for those that are having same issues should contact them via
