Stor-Age Pirates Women’s Rugby Club player selected for Springboks
Penbry McNamara, a Stor-Age Pirates Rugby Club player since the beginning of 2018, has been selected for the Springboks Women’s squad for their European tour in November.
McNamara is the second Pirates rugby player to be invited to join the Springbok Women’s team. She will be playing both hooker and flank during the squad’s European tour.

She was selected for the Springboks training camp during the final between Golden Lions and Boland Cavaliers, after which she got selected to join the Springboks squad.
Comments Chanel Alberts, Founder and Coach of the Stor-Age Pirates Women’s Rugby Club, “We are extremely proud of Penbry for being selected for the Springboks squad. It is an honour to have such a committed and hardworking player represent both Pirates Rugby and South Africa”.
