Hacjivah Dayimani plans well for most things in life, so it was not that unexpected when his phone rang and he received the message to join the Blitzbok squad for the HSBC Cape Town Sevens, but when it became reality, the Emirates Lions looseforward went blank.
The HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series – as competitive as it is right now – is all about grabbing that one opportunity and the Springbok Sevens team would love nothing more than doing just that.
The triumphant Blitzboks – fresh from victory in Dubai – will be in action on Friday in their opening pool match of the HSBC Cape Town Sevens on the first day of one of arguably South Africa’s most unmissable sports event of the year.
Isuzu Southern Kings Director of Rugby, Robbie Kempson, will continue in his role as the franchise’s head coach until the end of the current Guinness PRO14 season as the search continues to find a full-time replacement.
A total of 28 teams - 16 men's and 12 women's - will be in action at the Cape Town Stadium this weekend. Check out all the fixtures below!
