Blitzbok 7s star Mfundo Ndlovu is set to make his return for the Cape Town 7s, where South Africa aims to clinch the gold medal on home soil. Ndlovu, who is a two-time gold medallist in the HSBC SVNS Series and Commonwealth Games, comes back to the squad following the injuries of teammates Ryan Oosthuizen and Christie Grobbelaar during the Dubai 7s last week.
In addition to Ndlovu’s return, Zander Reynders has also been included in the lineup, potentially making his debut at the weekend.
South Africa’s campaign begins with a match against Ireland on Saturday at 9:44 PM, followed by a clash with the reigning champions, Argentina, early on Sunday morning at 4:41 AM.
The return of experienced players like Ndlovu could be a significant boost for the team as they look to perform strongly in front of their home crowd. With the stage set for high-stakes matches, fans eagerly await the thrilling action that the tournament promises to deliver.
