Franzel September sees Nairobi lessons as vital step in Bok Women's growth

The Springbok Women won their fifth consecutive continental title in Nairobi with a largely experimental squad, giving six debutants international exposure. Assistant coach Franzel September noted that African teams are now challenging South Africa physically, forcing the Springboks to broaden their attacking approach, including the kicking game. September views these lessons as vital for the long-term goal of becoming a major force for the 2029 Rugby World Cup.
