Review

The Blitzboks are a team that are best when they have ball in hand and that showed a week ago when they triumphed in Dubai, but disappointingly for Springbok Sevens supporters, they could not do the same this weekend in Cape Town, and paid the price.

Reaction

Springbok Women’s Sevens coach Renfred Dazel said that despite their HSBC SVNS Cape Town performances over the weekend, he is still confident that the team will achieve their season goal of finishing in the top eight of the series.

HSBC SVNS

Australia claimed a first-ever Cape Town title, and their second HSBC SVNS 2024 victory in a row, with a gutsy 29-26 win over France in an epic women’s final to cue ecstatic celebrations. The men’s final was a more one-sided affair as Argentina produced a dominant display to overcome Australia by a 45-12 scoreline to secure their first title in Cape Town.

Review

A disappointing weekend came to a close on a bitter note when the Springbok Sevens were beaten 31-7 by New Zealand in the fifth place playoff at the HSBC SVNS Cape Town on Sunday.

The Springbok Women's Sevens team failed to replicate their promising start to the HSBC SVNS in Dubai last weekend when they finished in 12th position in Cape Town on Saturday, going down to Japan and Spain on Sunday.
