Dynamic duo to boost Blitzboks in Dubai

The Springbok Sevens squad changed considerably from the one that played in Hong Kong, with the uncapped Duarttee and Mtshali among the six new players that travelled to Dubai, but Ngcobo said it was needed and expected.

“I think the potential impact of those new players was the main factor for us, what they bring to the team and what we were looking for in that regard. We wanted to bring in some game breakers and we will see how that will go.“The two uncapped players, Ricardo and Masande, fit the criteria we wanted in both of their positions. Masande brings height, speed and is very coachable. He is a warrior.

Ngcobo also mentioned Dalvon Blood, who will make a second appearance for the Blitzboks after his debut in Toulouse in May: “Dalvon brings speed and is a particularly good finisher. He has actually been around for a while now and just had some bad luck with injuries. He is very willing and does not mind hard work, so we are excited about his contributions.
