One of the most exciting rugby players at the Rugby World Cup 2021 currently being played in New Zealand must be the Women Springbok number 8, Aseza Hele. Hela showed against the Fiji Woman that she is the go-to player that got the Women Springboks on the front foot with her bullocking runs that needed several Fiji Women players to stop her.
For the No 8, who scored her sixth Test try against the Women Fiji team on Sunday, the effort was driven by a promise she made to the team at the jersey handover the day before.
“When I received my jersey, I promised the rest of the squad that I will do my very best. I said to them that I would empty my tank and put everything I have onto the field,” said Hele.
The challenge against England will be huge for Hele. She has not played against the Red Roses before, and she is very excited about the prospect.
“The matches against France and Fiji have shown us that we can compete, but that there are still moments where we do not do ourselves justice, which is hurting us,” said Hele.
“The England clash will be massive, but we want to be part of those types of games. Many people commented on the match against Fiji, describing it as one of the best so far at the Rugby World Cup. Those are the matches we want the Springbok Women to be associated with.”
