Forward James Murphy has emphasised the Blitzboks’ singular focus for the ultimate leg of the 2022-23 World Sevens Series in London this weekend – winning.
Four teams – newly crowned Sevens Series winners New Zealand, hosts France, Argentina and Fiji – have already secured their places at the Olympics next year, with the Blitzboks and Samoa chasing Australia for the final automatic qualification spot. “Some things have gone our way and others not, some of it due to our own mistakes and also because of outside reasons, but we are not going to point fingers, as the results only say ‘Springbok Sevens’ and as players, we have to take responsibility for those results.
“The better we do, the fewer favours we’ll need and that is why we’ve got a ‘no excuse’ mindset this week as we aim to finish as high as possible. If we can win, the rest will look after itself.”
