For Siviwe Soyizwapi and Dylan Sage, a return to the HSBC SVNS circuit is almost like a new beginning and they are embracing the challenge with a broad smile on their faces.
Dylan Sage and Siviwe Soyizwapi are both set to mark their return to action when the Blitzboks contest next weekend's HSBC SVNS tournament in Singapore.
Long-standing Blitzbok captain Siviwe Soyizwapi is available for selection for the first time in the current HSBC SVNS season.
The Springbok Sevens' quest for a first title at the Hong Kong Sevens was thwarted by Australia on Saturday, with the team in yellow outlasting a depleted Blitzbok side 15-0.
Sevens coaches can hardly ask for a more daunting start to their career than what is facing new interim Blitzboks boss Phillip Snyman this weekend, but the 37-year-old is taking it in his stride.
The young Springboks Sevens stars are not concerned about the past as they prepare to break the Blitzboks' duck in Hong Kong this weekend.
