The two undefeated sides in the tournament, Free State Women and SWD Eagirls will face off at the Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein on Saturday. Both teams looked imperious so far and seem to be the favorites to contest the final this year, so this clash could be a highly entertaining one.

The Free Staters will be spurred on by playing their first home game this season but could find the SWD defense more demanding than their previous two opponents, who leaked 30 tries.

The Eagirls, last season’s champions, only conceded two tries in two matches but will have to contain Bernice Strydom in the midfield, as the Free State center has scored 10 tries in the two outings already.

The Leopards Women are playing a third match at home in as many weeks and will be licking their wounds after their defeat to SWD last weekend. The Pumas will not travel from Mpumalanga to North West to roll over though, especially after their good win last weekend.

The match between Griffons Women and Valke Women in Welkom will be between the two teams who are still looking for their first win of 2023, so both will be desperate to bring some good news into their season. Based on results so far, the Valke can be judged favorites, but to write off the Griffons will be a mistake.

The match between the Limpopo Blue Bulls Women and Griquas Women has been canceled upon request from the team from the Northern Cape, who indicated they are not in a position to travel to Polokwane this weekend. As a result, the Limpopo side will be awarded five log points.
