New Stadium, New Beginnings: Davids' Blitzboks Target Elusive Hong Kong Sevens Crown

Blitzboks coach Philip Snyman had to make do with a candle and cupcake on his 38th birthday on Wednesday.

But SA captain Selvyn Davids celebrated his 31st in a more dramatic way, posing next to the other captains at the new Kai Tak Stadium, where this weekends Hong Kong Sevens takes place.

Snyman and Davids not only share birthdays, but also debut memories.

Davids represented the Blitzboks for the first time in Hong Kong in 2017, while Snyman officially took over as national sevens head coach at the corresponding tournament last year.

Davids said it is hard to believe that he is back in the Far East as captain again, so many years after his debut.
