Speedster Mfundo Ndlovu is set to make his return for the Cape Town 7s, as the South African team aims to secure victory on home soil. The two-time gold medallist in the HSBC SVNS Series and Commonwealth Games rejoining the squad comes after the team faced setbacks with the loss of players Ryan Oosthuizen and Christie Grobbelaar during the Dubai 7s.
In addition to Ndlovu, Zander Reynders will also join the lineup, potentially marking his debut in this exciting tournament.
The South African team will kick off their campaign by facing Ireland in their first pool match scheduled for Saturday at 9:44 PM, followed by a challenging encounter against the defending champions, Argentina, at 4:41 AM on Sunday.
This return of key players and the promising debut of Reynders adds depth to the squad, enhancing their chances of capturing gold in front of their home fans. With the support of local spectators, the Blitzboks are poised to deliver an exhilarating performance.
