Sizophila Solontsi steps in to Bok Women captaincy role for Ireland Tests

The experienced Solontsi co-captained the side with Unam Tose against Italy last month, with Tose named vice-captain for the two Tests, the first internationals between the two countries on South African soil.

Latsha was withdrawn from the squad on Saturday at the conclusion of their training camp in Stellenbosch, while it was also confirmed that Nombuyekezo Mdliki has failed to recover from her rib injury sustained against Spain earlier this month.

Their replacements will be confirmed on Monday.
