Blitzboks boss: If we stuff up again, that’s it

Philip Snyman said the Blitzboks must realise they have one more opportunity in Monaco to salvage their season after finishing sixth in the Sevens Grand Finale on Sunday.

After losing their three pool matches – against Ireland, New Zealand and Fiji – in Madrid, the South Africans delivered their best performance of the weekend in the fifth-place semi-final against Australia on Sunday morning, winning by 24-21.

According to the interim coach, SA’s lack of consistency was clear to see, adding that the Blitzboks mixed good and bad over the last three days.“We were two seconds away from beating Ireland in the pool match, but conceded possession and they went on to score the winning points.“Against New Zealand, we were ahead with 30 seconds to go, conceded possession and they went to score the winning points. So, it is close, but we are just not quite where we want or need to be.

“We were shown up in those two areas in Madrid,” he said. “Teams have picked this up and are targeting us in those areas, so we need to focus on that in the next couple of weeks.”
