The Blitzboks are in a do-or-die contest in the Los Angeles Sevens, but for Neil Powell the mathematics is simple in order to retain the World Series title.
The race for the 2022 World Rugby Sevens Series title is so close that defending champions and current leaders South Africa must reach the final at Dignity Health Sports Park in Los Angeles on Sunday to be crowned champions of 2022.South Africa , Australia , Argentina and Fiji all have a chance to clinch the World Series title.
“It is a very tough pool, starting with America, then Canada and then New Zealand. They are three tough teams, who all play totally different from each other and can beat any team on any day. The last time the Blitzboks played, in the final of the Commonwealth Games, they delivered close to a perfect performance, but Powell said this is a new tournament with new demands: “The Commonwealth Games was close to perfect, but that is in the past. At least we know what our standards can be now, so it is up to us to repeat that.
