SA’s dominance of the HSBC World Sevens Series this season continued when they claimed a sixth tournament win in a row at the inaugural event in Seville, Spain on Sunday.
The Blitzboks extended their incredible winning run in matches to 34 with a comprehensive 33-7 victory over Australia in the decider in which Christie Grobbelaar , Ryan Oosthuizen, Darren Adonis and Impi Visser scored tries.
Branco du Preez was injured against Scotland earlier in the tournament, while the team was playing without inspirational regular skipper Siviwe Soyizwapi due to a shoulder problem he picked up the previous week in Malaga.“They [Australia] are a tough team to play against. Credit to them. I think our boys grafted a bit more, and in the end we wanted it a bit more.
It was never about the winning streak or number of trophies won. It is our system that rewarded our belief and trust.”
