After winning gold twice and silver twice in Vancouver in earlier versions of the Canadian leg of HSBC SVNS, the Springbok Sevens squad are well aware of their underwhelming performances in recent seasons.
According to co-captain Impi Visser, the Blitzboks are adamant to change their fortunes this year and to improve on their ninth-place finish from 2024, when the team looked out of sorts at times, to say the least.
Visser added that their effort on Friday evening (SA time) in their opening match against New Zealand, will be a unified one where everyone is sharing the same objectives.
“Last time around, we were a bit disjointed, and it showed in our play,” said Visser.
