Poor performance by Blitzboks in Dubai

The Springbok Sevens team’s sixth place in the Emirates Airline Dubai Sevens on Saturday was one of their worst starts in the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series in recent seasons.

Blitzboks secure a second successive World Sevens Series title

Consistency was a hallmark of the Blitzboks’ success. In all 10 tournaments this season they qualified for the Cup semi-finals. They won twice (Dubai and Paris), and were losing finalists three times (Sydney, Hamilton and London).
