Their movements are very limited due to a hard tournament bubble and they have encountered three different weather days in succession, but the Blitzboks are itching for the opening tournament of the 2022-23 Sevens Series in Hong Kong.
“We left Stellenbosch knowing what to expect and have adapted to the fact that limited movement will be the order of the day and that our hotel will be our best friend till Friday, when we will at least be out on the field to do what we love most and that is to represent the Blitzboks and play for our country.
The players have been around the block and even the new coaching staff of Sandile Ngcobo and Philip Snyman were experienced Blitzbok squad members for many seasons and that eased the mind over the matter. “Because of the bubble restrictions, the hotel does not feel like a big tournament is about to happen,” he said.
