Two uncapped players and three returnees to the Springboks Sevens squad will bring the energy needed to bounce back from a disappointing outing in Cape Town last month.
The Argentina men and the Australia Women walked away with the spoils following an epic weekend of HSBC Sevens action in Cape Town.
Springbok Women coach Louis Koen announced four changes to the starting team to face Italy in the second round of WXV 2 at Athlone Stadium in Cape Town on Friday.
Stormers scrumhalf Paul de Wet is looking to embrace the change in weather as the Cape Town men venture north for United Rugby Championship and Champions Cup clashes.
Springbok Sevens coach Sandile Ngcobo has included Darren Adonis in the Blitzboks’ playmaking role for this weekend’s HSBC Cape Town Sevens at DHL Stadium.
He experienced the feeling of winning your home tournament a number of times as a player and now – as a coach – Philip Snyman wants to return the compliment, especially in Cape Town.
