Veteran playmaker Justin Geduld believes that the Blitzboks are in a positive mood as they look to close their Sevens World Series on a high in Spain this week.
The record books will reflect that South Africa won the last two sevens tournaments in Spain – Malaga and Seville in 2022 – and for Geduld, playing in his 60th series tournament, those achievements can be repeated.
“The injury in Seville was a bad one for me and took me away from the game for quite some time, but I am very happy to be back here in Spain again,” said Geduld as the Blitzboks went through their paces in sunny Madrid. “The injury is a thing of the past and the positive was that it extended my career with the Blitzboks,” he said. “I can now actually try and get to a third Olympics with the team.”
The Blitzboks will play in the Olympic repechage tournament in Monaco next month and although that is very much on the radar of the squad, they will use this final opportunity to fine-tune their game even more, as they are getting to grips to the changes expected and implemented by interim coach, Philip Snyman.
