Selvyn Davids: Leading The Blitzboks To New Heights

Being the leader of a national team in South Africa is a tough task, but Blitzboks captain Selvyn Davids is happy he can count on other seniors in the team to lighten the load.

The flight-footed Davids claimed the Springbok Sevens Player of the Year award on Thursday after a season where the South Africans bagged a bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

On the SVNS Series, though, things didn't always go according to plan, but they've turned a corner in the new season and currently sit in fourth place on the overall series log with two tournaments to go.

The South Africans are only six points behind log-leaders Argentina and can still win the title with a big push in Hong Kong and Singapore.

According to Davids, they will take the tournaments as they come and not look too far ahead, but they are excited to head to Hong Kong.
