Springbok Sevens coach Sandile Ngcobo has included Darren Adonis in the Blitzboks’ playmaking role for this weekend’s Cape Town Sevens at DHL Stadium.
Adonis’ inclusion is the only change to the side that clinched the Dubai Sevens title last weekend as he replaces Dewald Human, who picked up a groin injury at The Sevens Stadium, which ruled him out of Cape Town, the third stop on the 2023 World Rugby Sevens Series.
The Southern Cape-raised player has won the Currie Cup with the Toyota Cheetahs before he moved to sevens rugby and since joining the Blitzboks, Adonis has won gold medals in Vancouver, Edmonton, Malaga and Seville.“Darren has trained with us before we left for Dubai and then played there as well as part of the Samurai in the invitational tournament. I managed to watch those games and he did very well, so I am happy to have him,” the coach explained.
Ngcobo said the focus for the team will remain inward, with a clear understanding of how they want to express themselves at the DHL Stadium.
