Do-or-die For Blitzboks At Singapore Sevens Following Hong Kong Disappointment

The Blitzboks cleared the air after last weeks mishap in Hong Kong, and have set their sights on finishing strongly at the Singapore Sevens with a fresh focus.

Ninth place in the first Far East tournament was not up to the standards of the Springbok Sevens, and with a sudden-death group stage in Singapore with Great Britain 7.26am start and Argentina 10.44am on Saturday, they know there is no room for error.

The South Africans face Britain on Saturday morning before taking on the defending series champions and current log-leaders Argentina, knowing that one loss could derail their plans of making a comeback.

According to veteran Siviwe Soyizwapi, they want to put in performances that do justice to the team, country and the badge on their chests.

Each tournament has its own merits and you have to start all over again, he said of starting afresh at the National Stadium, where the Blitzboks have won twice before.
