Last updated: 22 Aug 2025

The upcoming women's rugby match between South Africa and Brazil sees South Africa as the strong favorites, expected to win by over 46.5 points. South Africa has shown significant improvement in recent years, ranking 12th globally, and boasts a team with physical prowess and key players like Libbie Janse van Rensburg and Aphiwe Ngwevu. Brazil, despite limited history with only 16 matches, made waves by qualifying for the World Cup by defeating a higher-ranked Columbia. This game marks their first encounter in women’s rugby, making it a highly anticipated event.

South Africa vs Brazil Women Predictions


South Africa women have shown marked improvement and have some decent results to fall back on. Even narrow defeats to Australia and Italy last year will give them plenty of confidence. I expect the green and gold to cover -46.5 against a very inexperienced Brazil side.

Head to Head


Brazil and South Africa have not met in women’s rugby before.

South Africa Women Form


South Africa women have shown consistent improvement over the last two years. They are arguably the most improved in World Rugby compared to where they were previously.

This is South Africa’s first visit to a Women’s Rugby World Cup. They are currently ranked 12th in the world rankings.

Prior to the tournament, South Africa hosted New Zealand in a warm-up series. New Zealand won the first match while South Africa leveled it up in the second.

It must be noted that it was not a first-choice lineup that featured for New Zealand, it was largely players on the fringe of the national side.

South Africa Women Team News


South Africa have a very physical side with plenty of talent. At flyhalf, Libbie Janse van Rensburg runs with show alongside stalwart scrumhalf, Nadine Roos. It Is worth looking out for inside centre, Aphiwe Ngwevu who is known for her barnstorming runs down the middle of defences.

Brazil Women Form


Brazil qualified for the Women’s Rugby World Cup for the first time after beating Columbia in the final of Sudamerica. 

The Yarras shocked the rugby world with that 34-13 win as they sat 25 placed below Columbia in the world rankings. Brazil had also lost their previous six outings against Columbia.

Brazil Women Team News


Coimbra will lead a Brazilian side who has only played 16 matches in their history.

Verdict

South Africa women are tipped to beat Brazil by more than 46.5 points on Sunday.
