Blitzboks coach Neil Powell has picked the same 12 players that won in Dubai last week for this weekend’s second leg of the HSBC World Sevens Series in Cape Town. It was an easy decision considering there were no injuries‚ but he has changed the 13th man‚ the standby reserve. In comes Siviwe Soyizwapi to replace Marco Labuschagne. "All the players would love to play in their only home tournament on the circuit‚ so the result in Dubai made it easy for me to pick the team‚" said Powell. "Everyone returned fit from that tournament and will have the added motivation of playing in front of a very supportive home crowd. "The only change to our squad is the official reserve — we have included Siviwe Soyizwapi in the place of Marco Labuschagne, which was part of our planning.
