South African rugby star Mfundo Ndlovu is set to make a comeback in the Cape Town 7s, as the Blitzboks aim to capture gold on home soil. Ndlovu, a two-time gold medalist at both the HSBC SVNS Series and the Commonwealth Games, has been reintegrated into the squad following the recent losses of teammates Ryan Oosthuizen and Christie Grobbelaar during last week’s Dubai 7s.
Additionally, Zander Reynders will also return, potentially marking his debut during the tournament. The Blitzboks are scheduled to face Ireland in their opening pool match on Saturday at 9:44 PM, followed by a challenging game against the defending champions, Argentina, at 4:41 AM on Sunday.
This event offers an exciting opportunity for the South African team to showcase their talent and resilience, especially after a setback, as they seek to leverage their home advantage in front of local fans. The return of experienced players like Ndlovu could prove vital in their pursuit of victory.
With a strong squad and the motivational support of their home crowd, the Blitzboks are poised for an exciting tournament, and there is hope they can reclaim their status on the international stage.
