The Blitzboks suffered a surprising defeat in their first game at the Toulouse leg of the HSBC World Sevens Series against Ireland on Friday.
From a penalty perspective, we did give away far too many penalties in the last two tournaments (Singapore and Vancouver), it’s definitely something that we looked at,” said coach Neil Powell prior to his team’s departure to France. Discipline was a key area the Blitzboks worked on in preparation for Toulouse but their first match indicates there is yet more work to do. This is another opportunity for us, and we want to grab it with both hands,” said Soyizwapi. “Samoa’s physicality proved a challenge for us last time around, so we need to be better when we face them this weekend. “You are training with all these Blitzbok stars and that elevates your game to the next level. This continues the Springbok Sevens team’s recent slump in form.
