Philip Snyman has given the Springbok Sevens the thumbs up as the Blitzboks prepare to start their third consecutive charge at Olympic gold on Wednesday.
The Blitzboks face Ireland and New Zealand on the opening day of the competition at Stade de France on Wednesday and Snyman – a bronze medalist from the 2016 Games in Rio – said they have done everything possible to be at their competitive best this week.
“We saw different pictures on attack and defence and had to adapt accordingly. It was a well worth exercise and sharpened us up nicely for the matches against Ireland and New Zealand.” “For us, it will just be another opportunity to represent our country and to deliver our best effort for the jersey,” he said. “Yes, the reward might be different, but the game remains the same and that is where our focus will be tomorrow.”
