Again, it was Fiji who came back with some entertaining attacking play and the lead was cut down with a try by outside centre Ivamere Rokowati with five minutes to play, but the conversion went wide to leave South Africa 24-22 in the lead.
Fiji lost yet another player for cynical play when a pass by Patience Mokone on the attack was slapped down. The Bok Women kicked to the corner and after several hit-ups by the pack, the ball was sent wide and Tshiremba scored her third try, much to the delight of her team-mates.
Dolf’s conversion was wide, but the damage was done and South Africa walked away series winners and with their sixth win in seven matches.
Scorers:
Fiji 22 (10) – Tries: Atelaite Buna, Adi Vani Buleki, Adi Salote Nailolo, Ivamere Rokowati. Conversion: Varanaise Qoro.
Springbok Women 29 (5) – Tries: Lindelwa Gwala, Maria Tshiremba (3), Vainah Ubisi. Conversions: Byrhandre Dolf (2).
