Trailing 0-34 at the interval, the Kenya Lioness fell to a 0-48 defeat to South Africa in their Rugby Africa Women’s Cup match day two encounter at the Stade Makis in Antananarivo, Madagascar on Wednesday afternoon.
The South Africans scored eight tries through Zintle Mpupha (2), Nomawethu Mabenge (4), Sizophila Solontsi, Chumisa Qawe while Libbie Janse van Rensburg managed four conversions.
Kenya finished the game strongly but their efforts came to naught and now shift their attention to Sunday’s clash against Cameroon who fell to a 30-10 defeat to hosts Madagascar in the day’s second fixture.
The Lionesses will be gunning for victory and a Madagascar loss on Sunday as this will guarantee them second place and a place in the WXV third tier competition set for October.
