The South African women’s Sevens team will make their debut at the Cape Town tournament on the afternoon of Friday, December 13.

It will kick off of a long weekend of action, which will culminate with men’s and women’s finals on Sunday, December 15.

“We are extremely excited about the addition of the women’s event,” said Jurie Roux, SA Rugby CEO.

“Over the last four years, the Cape Town Sevens has delivered a world-class event for spectators and players alike, and we are working very hard to ensure the same high standards and expectations are met this year.

“The combined men’s and women’s event provides the first chance for a South African audience to see the leading women’s players in live action.”
