Davids out with injury, Dry promoted and Murphy called up
The Blitzboks will go into this weekend’s Hong Kong Sevens with a reshuffled squad after forward Zain Davids was injured in practice on Wednesday.
Davids sustained a shoulder injury in training on Wednesday‚ which prompted coach Neil Powell to make hasty arrangements. Dry though‚ has played 67 World Series tournaments and brings a wealth of experience. Davids’s injury will not dampen the Blitzboks’ enthusiasm and the intensity at training remained high‚ something team captain Siviwe Soyizwapi believes to be a good sign before their first match against Japan on Friday.
Soyizwapi is under no illusions with the challenges facing the Blitzboks‚ despite having won the previous tournament in Vancouver‚ which consolidated SA’s position in the top four.
