Blitzboks' Shilton Van Wyk Aims To Be Sharper At Cape Town Sevens

Every match will count for the Blitzboks, and they are dead-set on performing on their home turf in attempting to claim their first Cape Town SVNS title since the inaugural tournament back in 2015.

Its been eight long years since the Springbok Sevens had success in the Mother City, and with a revamped tournament format, they know it will be crucial to win every game to wear the crown again.

The South Africans will only play two pool games on Saturday against Ireland 11.44am and Argentina 6.41pm in their search for a place in the semi-finals of the abbreviated format.

While there were quarter-final spots up for grabs in the Dubai SVNS last weekend, there will be none in Cape Town in the do-or-die format.

According to Blitzboks speedster Shilton van Wyk, they will have to win both pool games against tough opponents to ensure they progress.
