The Irish women’s rugby side beat their South African counterparts, the Springbok women, 40-27 in the first of two tests in the WXV Global Series in Cape Town. Ireland scored six tries to five, and led 21-17 at half-time in the historic encounter. This was the first time the two sides met on South African soil, and only their second encounter ever. Ireland won their previous clash at the 2006 Women’s World Cup, 37-nil. The two teams meet again for the second and final test at Athlone Stadium, next Saturday.
