Get ready for a week of non stop rugby news as the first of four years of HSBC World Sevens Rugby takes place in Port Elizabeth’s Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium from 9 to 10 December.
The Springbok Sevens are drawn in the same pool as Australia, Canada and Kenya – giving them the chance to avenge their 17-14 Plate final loss against Australia on 3 December in Dubai. After leading 14-5 at the break, the Springbok loss came from a try in the last movement of the game by Lewis Holland.
