Snyman: Top spot not unrealistic for Blitzboks

Snyman captained the Springbok Sevens in a golden era where sevens titles and Olympic and Commonwealth Games podium finishes where the order of the day.

Snyman’s belief stems from some selection changes, more time with the squad and a gut feel about a season that can still be rescued. “I am confident that the new players coming in, vastly experienced and skillful as they are, will add to the skill set we already have in the core group. I don’t think our goal to top the pool and then make it into at least the top four is unrealistic.”The Blitzboks face Spain, Samoa and France in their pool, three teams Snyman feels are capable of beating the best, as they have proved during the very competitive 2024 series.

Snyman also points to a longer play in the season: “We want to use this opportunity in Singapore to get much needed momentum and confidence to go into the next two big tournaments for us, the Grand Finale in Madrid at the end of the month and then the Olympic repechage in Monaco in June.
