# Rugby: Springbok men’s captain Siya Kolisi has asked South Africans to fully support the national women’s team during the World Cup, starting in England on the 22nd. They play Brazil, Italy and France in Pool D. The Bok women lost all their matches during the previous tournament in 2021, but Kolisi believes they could reach the quarterfinals this year. He praised the team’s improvement over the past few months, with Bok assistant coach Mzwandile Stick saying the women playing as curtainraisers for men’s games gave them bigger exposure.
