The belief in their turnaround of fortunes is real and come the Sevens Series Grand Finale in Madrid this weekend, the Blitzboks will be ready to deliver.
That is the view of Blitzbok captain Selvyn Davids as the squad fine-tuned their preparations for the final showpiece of the 2024 season in Spain, with South Africa taking on Ireland, New Zealand and Fiji in their pool this weekend.
“It is so close, I can feel it,” said Davids of the ultimate performance by the squad, last seen in the series opener in Dubai in December. “We were so close in Singapore, where one poor decision cost us a top four position. We have trained well and there is massive confidence in what we want to get out of this tournament and the importance of leaving here with good momentum going into the Olympic repechage in Monaco after this.”“It was a tough season, and we did not represent our supporters the way we did in the past,” said Soyizwapi.
