The South African Under-20 Womens team kicked off their preparations for the Womens Rugby World Cup with a 23-12 win over their USA counterparts at Nelspruit High School today. Half-time score was 8-7.
In a cool partly-cloudy weather with no wind, the South Africans opened their account in the sixth minute with a try by winger Lindiwe Masole. Fly-half Zenay Jordaan failed to convert.
However, the Americans replied four minutes later with a try by flanker Katherine Johnson. Fly-half Lisa Hennenans conversion gave the visitors their maximum points for the afternoon.
The home side ended the first half with a lead in the 25th minute when Masole scored a penalty kick.
In the second half, the Americans were subjected to further Masole punishment when she earned her team three points in the 48th minute, after a penalty against the visitors.
Two tries within three minutes sealed the fate of the Americans when centre Celeste April scored in the 52nd minute and full-back Aimee Barrett (captain) in the 55th. Masole failed to convert the former but was successful with the latter.
