The Springbok Sevens team have dominated the 2022 World Series, but that could be about to change in Singapore if Olympic champions Fiji and perennial winners New Zealand have a say.
The Blitzboks will finally have a chance to test themselves against traditional sevens powerhouses Fiji and New Zealand in Singapore this weekend. Or they might not, depending on the draw.
It was a cautious assessment and a humble approach from New Zealand. Ever the pragmatist though, coach Neil Powell was not looking to possible clashes with Fiji or New Zealand because neither side is in their pool. “The last time we played Canada , the score was still 0-0 at the break and I am sure they will take a lot of confidence out of that performance. Our focus will be on that game and, as always, we would like to set a standard for ourselves for the remainder of the tournament. So, we do target a good start.
The players spent the early part of the week doing extra exercises to combat jet lag, time difference and Singapore’s notorious humidity.
