South Africa Hire Lynne Cantwell As Women’s High Performance Manager

“If we’re serious about women’s rugby – and we are – we had to make a serious appointment, and we have,” said SA Rugby CEO Jurie Roux.
“Lynne comes on board at a time when we have committed to growing the game amongst women – a directive from World Rugby and a South African national imperative – and she will work closely with Rassie Erasmus (Director of Rugby), Charles Wessels (GM: Rugby) and Springbok Women’s head coach Stanley Raubenheimer to improve the women’s game in South Africa.”
Cantwell won 86 caps for Ireland. She also holds a degree in Sports and Exercise Science, and a Masters in Physiotherapy. Cantwell won 86 caps for Ireland. She also holds a degree in Sports and Exercise Science, and a Masters in Physiotherapy.
“I am excited and naturally a bit nervous about the big move over to South Africa for me and my family, but I feel incredibly comforted by the warm welcome I have been given internally at SA Rugby, by the players and management, and the provincial CEOs,” she said
