Uit die skadu van die skrum

Met Ingrid Botha, Natascha Louw, prof. Francois Cleophas

Vrouerugby is die wêreld se mees snelgroeiende spansport. Met meer as 2,7 miljoen spelers reg oor die wêreld brei dit vinnniger uit as die mansspel. Tog skuil daar ? merkwaardige paradoks: In ? land waar rugby diep in die nasionale identitieit ingegraveer is en deeglik geboekstaaf is, bly die argief sonder die stories van vroue. Is vrouerugby werklik iets nuuts of is dit bloot onsigbaar gemaak? Kom luister hoe die sporthistorikus prof. Francois Cleophas en navorser Natascha Louw gesels met voormalige Springbok-kaptein, Ingrid Botha, en só die swye verbreek. Kom vier die skraapmerke, die vuil truie en die triomf. ? Reis na die hart van die skrum.

With Ingrid Botha, Natascha Louw, Prof Francois Cleophas

Women’s rugby is the fastest-growing team sport in the world. With more than 2.7 million players globally, it is expanding faster than the men’s game. Yet a striking paradox remains: in a country where rugby is deeply ingrained in the national identity women’s stories remain conspicuously absent from the archive. Is women’s rugby truly something new, or has it simply been made invisible? Sports historian professor Francois Cleophas and researcher Natascha Louw speak with former Springbok captains about breaking this silence. Come celebrate the bruises, the muddy jerseys, and the triumphs - a journey straight to the heart of the scrum.
