Captain Siviwe Soyizwapi is concerned about the potential impact of pitch conditions at Cape Town Stadium when the Blitzboks take on Ireland in the Sevens World Cup late on Saturday night.
The Blitzboks shrugged off any pre-tournament nerves to thrash minnows Chile in the final World Cup round of 16 clash in Cape Town on Friday evening.While the stadium wasn’t exactly packed to capacity, with more fans expected to attend on Saturday, the Blitzboks still ran out to a roar, repeated every time the hosts crossed the tryline or made a big hit.
The Blitzboks scored six tries in their 32-5 victory, with Angelo Davids grabbing a brace, while Ronald Brown, Sako Makata, Mfundo Ndlovu and Christie Grobbelaar also got on the scoresheet. “The team is always chasing perfection and that effort is what we look to from each player,” said Soyizwapi. “Those are part of the things that we train back in Stellenbosch and we are looking to perfect them with each game. Luckily it came off for us tonight.”The major concern for the Blitzboks captain, however, was around the pitch at Cape Town Stadium, which caused havoc with the home side’s defensive game.
