# Rugby: SA Rugby plans an elite, fully professional women’s competition next year. President Mark Alexander says this follows the Springbok Women’s great achievement at the World Cup in England, where they reached the quarterfinal for the very first time. He says the potential for growth in the women’s game in the country is fantastic, and while the playing base grows, so will excellence at high-performance level. Alexander believe it’s not a question of whether South Africa’s women can win the World Cup, but when.
