The Springbok Sevens team slipped to third position on the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series log after their woeful performance at the Los Angeles Sevens this past weekend.

The Blitzboks finished in a tie for seventh, winning ONE of the five matches they played.

Their time in the United States culminated in an embarrassing 45-5 defeat to Samoa.

They will need to dust themselves off – and find some urgent injury replacements – with the next stop in Vancouver from 2-5 March 2023.
