The Isuzu Bulls Daises finished top of the log in the Pick n Pay Women’s Super League yet again as the 2026 version of the tournament finished in style on Saturday, while the Sanlam Boland Dames finished in second place.
The two sides will meet at Loftus Versfeld next Saturday for the 2026 final – Boland’s first appearance in the top tier provincial decider.
The Daisies almost clocked another century of points as they dismissed their Gauteng rivals, the Golden Lions Women, with a 95-5 win, while the Dames had a much tougher fight on their hands in Durban, where they outplayed the Sharks Women 33-22 in a tight match at KP2.
The Free State Women finished their season strongly by beating the Border Ladies 41-24 in East London, while in Gqeberha, DHL Western Province scored eight tries to close out their season with a 42-17 win over the EP Queens, who finished fourth on the overall standings.
The Isuzu Bulls Daisies scored 16 tries in a commanding display of transitional play in their 95-5 victory over the Golden Lions Women in Pretoria, where the biggest disappointment for the home side was not getting another 100 on the board as they held a 53-0 lead at the break.
The Daisies dominated from the start, scoring almost at will and showed to all what standards of rugby will be needed if you want to beat the current champions.
They scored from good lineout variations, with Sizophila Solontsi diving over after such a move, while slick backline play resulted in Thobile Msizazwe dotting down four times to become the leading try scorer in the competition. The Daisies pounced on any Lions mistake, as Camelitha Malone showed when she intercepted to race away for one of her two tries.
The Daisies are laden with Springbok Women players and when all of them are on form, there is not much else the opponents can do but look on from behind their posts. Several capped players showed great form on the day and Zintle Mpupha – who missed four matches due to a suspension – came back in style, scoring a try and converting some as well.
The Golden Lions could not do much. They had some moments in the scrum and got a couple of penalties there, while their fighting spirit also earned them their only try in the second half, but the day was highlighted by the standard bearers in the competition.
