Three Springbok Sevens players have been named in the Dream Team following last weekend’s Dubai Sevens.
Organizers announced the squad on Monday after fans were given a chance to vote for their top seven players from the event.
The Blitzboks were crowned champions after beating Ireland 21-5 in the Cup final. Three South Africans – skipper Siviwe SoyizwapYo, White du Preez and newbie Ricardo Duarte – were rewarded for stellar performances by inclusion in the Dream Team.
The Dubai Sevens Dream team is as follows:
Perry Baker (United States), Ricardo Duarttee (SA), Branco du Preez (SA)Harry McNulty (Ireland), Mark Roche (Ireland), Akuila Rokolisoa (New Zealand), Siviwe “Shakes” Soyizwapi (SA)
The action moves to Cape Town this week, where the Blitzboks will contest a tough Group A matchup with Fiji, France and Canada.
