The lifting of the Emirates Trophy on Saturday evening in Dubai was one thing, the knowledge that so many people worked so hard towards that moment was another, according to Springbok Sevens coach, Sandile Ngcobo.
Ngcobo was speaking after the Blitzboks’ 21-5 victory over Ireland in Sunday night's final in just his second tournament as coach.
“There are so many things in the lead-up to a tournament like this that people will never see — how a group of players get together and work so hard for each other to be ready when the battle starts. This win will mean so much for our system and justified the fight the guys showed for each other.
