# Rugby: Swys de Bruin rated the Springbok Women’s first half performance against the USA Eagles Women at Ellis Park as the best 40 minutes of rugby since he was appointed as head coach, but admitted their second half effort fell short of the same standard in a match they won 34-21. The first half effort yielded a 29-0 lead at the break, but the visitors had much more parity in the second half and cut into the lead by the Springbok Women with three tries. The second Test against the USA will be played at Loftus on Saturday.
Rugby: De Bruin pleased with win, but not second half effort
