South Africa’s Blitzbok 7s team welcomes the return of speedster Mfundo Ndlovu for the upcoming Cape Town 7s tournament, as they aim to secure gold on home soil. Ndlovu, a two-time gold medalist in both the HSBC SVNS Series and the Commonwealth Games, rejoins the squad following the loss of teammates Ryan Oosthuizen and Christie Grobbelaar, who were sidelined during the Dubai 7s last week.
Additionally, Zander Reynders is set to make a potential debut, further strengthening the team’s roster. The Blitzbok’s journey begins on Saturday with their first pool match against Ireland at 9:44 PM, followed by a challenging encounter with the reigning Cape Town 7s champions, Argentina, early Sunday morning at 4:41 AM.
The return of key players and the debut of new talent signal a strong and determined South African team. This tournament presents an opportunity not only to showcase their skills but to rally local support as they strive for success in front of their home crowd. The anticipation surrounding the matches promises an exciting weekend of rugby.
