BIG WIN IN WELLINGTON
Blitzboks settle in as best team on circuit
Wing Seabelo Senatla became SA’s all-time leading try-scorer as the Blitzboks won the Wellington leg of the World Sevens Series for the second time. SA won the final 26-5 against reigning World Series and Olympic champions Fiji to consolidate their place at the top of the overall standings. After 18 competitive matches in the 2016-17 season‚ the Blitzboks have won 17 and are without question the best team on circuit. The overall series title is theirs to lose from this position. Victory in Wellington was SA’s second tournament success of the season after winning round one in Dubai. The Blitzboks were runners-up in Cape Town in round two and now lead the World Series on 63 points with Fiji second on 51 and England third on 49.
