Springbok Sevens skipper Siviwe Soyizwapi will make his 50th HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series appearance for the Blitzboks in Toulouse next weekend.
The Springboks Sevens team has a lot of hard work ahead after conceding valuable ground to their opponents in the race to automatic qualification for the 2024 Olympic Games.
The Blitzboks were knocked out of the Cup competition at the HSBC Singapore Sevens on Saturday after suffering defeats against both Australia and New Zealand.
The Blitzboks narrowly lost to New Zealand at the Hong Kong Sevens on Saturday but bounced back against Kenya to secure qualification for the Cup quarter-finals.
The Blitzboks are ready to return to battle in a topsy-turvy 2023 HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series which has already produced five different tournament winners.
They may have arrived in Hong Kong with their backs to the wall, but the Springbok Sevens team know where to make the necessary improvements.
