The daisy is a hardy flower, capable of holding its ground and blooming under the toughest of conditions.

And now, in South Africa, the daisy has come to stand for something new: the trailblazing power of women's rugby at its boldest.

Step onto the practice field with the ISUZU Bulls Daisies, and you’ll feel it instantly. The hum of history in the making.

They’re the country’s first professional women’s rugby team, and the shining stars of the Women’s Premier Division.

For the Daisies, every scrum, every sprint, every try, is part of a movement built on the belief that empowerment can come in the shape of an oval ball.

That’s what drew BrightRock to the Daisies. We’ve long been at home on the rugby field, partnering with the Vodacom Bulls and the DHL Stormers.

Our new collaboration with the ISUZU Bulls Daisies marks a different kind of milestone, affirming our own belief in the power of women’s sport to inspire, uplift, and transform.

“Partnering with the ISUZU Bulls Daisies was an easy decision for us,” says BrightRock CEO Suzanne Stevens. “The Daisies are paving the way for women’s rugby in the country and on the world stage. They truly embody what it means to Love Change. We’re incredibly proud to be playing the bounce with them.”

Rugby, just like life itself, is unpredictable. The bounce of the ball, one way or another, can change everything.

In many ways, the Daisies’ journey mirrors BrightRock’s own. In 2011, we entered a fiercely competitive life insurance market with a bold and untested idea: cover that changes as your life changes.

It took grit, resilience, and belief to succeed. And the Daisies know that feeling.

“The ISUZU Bulls Daisies are a groundbreaking force, committed to using rugby as a tool for change,” says Suzanne. “Having walked a similar journey of change, we understand what it takes to rise and be the best of the best.”

For Zintle Mpupha, vice captain of the Daisies, being a professional women’s rugby player in South Africa means leading with strength and inspiring change.

“Through this partnership, we’re sending a powerful message to young girls everywhere,” she says. “That we are valued, that we can lead, and that we have the ability to achieve extraordinary things.”

Edgar Rathbone, CEO of the Blue Bulls Company, sees the bigger picture.

“The growth of the women’s game is one of the most important developments in South African sport, and the ISUZU Bulls Daisies have been at the forefront of that evolution. Partnering with BrightRock equips our players with the confidence and resources to excel, while supporting us to use rugby as a tool for change and connection.”

During the Women’s Rugby World Cup in England, several Bulls Daisies traded the blue jersey for the iconic green and gold of the Springbok Women. For them, the spotlight is global.

For young girls watching from school fields in Pretoria, Gqeberha, or Bloemfontein, the inspiration is personal.

BrightRock’s support stretches across both stages. It’s about backing the Daisies in the Women’s Premier Division and cheering them on as they take their place among the best in the world.

The ISUZU Bulls Daisies are proving that change is possible when passion meets opportunity.

And BrightRock is proud to be a teammate, helping to build a future where women’s sport is celebrated for the strength, talent, and hope it brings. Long may the Daisies bloom!
