Blitzbokke get favourable Hong Kong draw─── 08:30 Wed, 18 Feb 2015
The Springbok Sevens teams have received a favourable draw for next months’ Hong Kong Sevens.
The Blitzbokke were drawn in Pool C for the iconic tournament alongside France, Argentina and Japan for the sixth leg of the World Series.
The Springbok Sevens finished third at the Las Vegas Sevens over the weekend and they are therefore the top seeds in their pool.
The players arrive back in South Africa today and will have a few days off after playing in two tournaments in New Zealand and the United States.
The team will assemble for full training next week Thursday at their base camp in Stellenbosch.
South African wing Seabelo Senatla increased his tally as the World Series’ leading try scorer to 30 after he scored six more tries in Las Vegas.
His try scoring exploits have also moved him up to second spot (150 points) on the overall World Series points scorers list behind Fijian Osea Ramodi Kolinisau (202), with fellow Springbok Sevens Branco du Preez third on (145).
The Hong Kong Sevens will be played between 27 and 29 March.
