While all eyes were on the Springbok team at the Rugby World Cup, there was international rugby on the go, right here on our doorstep, as the Springbok Women hosted Scotland at City Park Stadium in Athlone on Saturday.
And a lekker day for rugby it was, with the sun shining and fans stieking out in their numbers.
After 80 minutes of breathless running rugby, it was the Scottish lasses who came out on top, beating the hosts 38-15.
