The South Africans have sent a stern statement to the rugby fraternity with their strong performance in this tournament.
The side recorded a win over Japan in the opener and pushed Wallaroos to the end. This weekend they face a very different challenge in the form of Italy.
The last time the two sides met, Le Azurri claimed a 36-18 win in last year's WXV 2 edition in Cape Town.
While a lot has changed since then with the Bok Women under new management, the Le Azzuri, who are ninth on the World Rugby rankings, will fancy their chances against the 12th-ranked hosts.
Nolusindiso Booi returns and will captain the Bok Women. Her return means a straight swop with Danelle Lochner, who reverts to being one of the impact players.
Experienced Lindelwa Gwala also returns to boost the Bok Women pack. Gwala has recovered from the calf strain that kept her out of the first two WXV clashes and replaces Roseline Botes at hooker.
"Whether from the bench or in the starting line-up, we have to make sure we make an impact," Booi said when asked about making the first XV.
"We go out there and we know exactly what is expected of us."
The skipper said the Bok Women will give it their best as they want to finish the season strong.
"This is our last game of the tournament. I think our preparation was good and we know exactly what is expected from us in terms of attack and defence.
"So we just gave to give it our all."
She added: "We want to stick to our processes. Dominate them at the scrums and line-outs.
"Try to get more penalties and score a few maul tries."
The 'final'
In the last match of the tournament, Wallaroos take on Scotland for the fourth time in the two teams' rivalry.
They have played on three occasions with Wallaroos backing three victories and it will be the first time the two teams meet in a Test match since 2021.
Wallaroos flank Ashley Marsters will become the most-capped women's player in Australian Rugby history after being named in the squad to face Scotland for the WXV 2 title.
Wallaroos coach Jo Yapp has made two changes for the side's final international of the year and following back-to-back wins against Wales and South Africa.
Marsters, who made her Wallaroos debut in 2014, will surpass Liz Patu by playing in her 34th Test match at Athlone Stadium on Saturday.
Born in Raratonga, Cook Islands, Marsters moved to Melbourne and started playing rugby as a six-year-old before moving through to the senior level.
She has featured in two World Cups and is eyeing a third appearance at next year's 2025 World Cup in England.
The 30-year-old is one cap ahead of vice-captain Trilleen Pomare and two caps in front of Wallaroos captain Michaela Leonard in the squad.
Wallaroos coach Jo Yapp said: “It’s a fantastic achievement for Ash to become the most-capped Wallaroos player of all time, taking over from the experienced Liz Patu.
“Our performances over the past fortnight have been positive but we’ll need to go to another level against Scotland this weekend.
“We want to keep our starting side as consistent as possible so Sally and Alapeta return to the bench in the only changes to the 23.
“We want to step up and improve on our last performance and if we can play at our best we can finish the year on a strong note.”
The inclusions of recalled forwards Sally Fuesaina and Alapeta Ngauamo are at the expense of Allana Sikimeti and Lydia Kavoa, who both dropped out of the team.
