Philip Snyman believes the Blitzboks can still progress to the playoffs of the Olympic Sevens, despite making ‘schoolboy errors’ in their defeats to New Zealand and Ireland.
In both games against Ireland and New Zealand, the Blitzboks struggled to see much of the ball and had to produce a defensive rearguard to keep themselves in the contest. “I think the first game against Ireland, we only had 15% ball possession and you can’t play the game like that and to only lose 10-5, I think the guys defended well,” Snyman was quoted by“The second game against New Zealand, the guys defended well at stages and once we got the ball we couldn’t put up phases, we made schoolboy errors. We looked like we didn’t want to have the ball, it looked like we didn’t want to attack.
