[LOOK] Snyman gives Bok 7s edge in NZ
Focus: coach Philip Snyman
Winning in the Land of the Long White Cloud is never easy, but Springbok Sevens assistant coach Philip Snyman knows what it takes and he is excited about the prospect of this weekend’s New Zealand Sevens in Hamilton.
In his playing days, Snyman played in three consecutive finals in New Zealand, where he experienced the joy and elation of a tournament victory (in 2017), but also the heartbreak and despair of finishing second (in 2016 and 2018).
That experience will come in handy this weekend, when the Blitzboks line up in the fourth tournament of the 2023 World Rugby Sevens Series, and Snyman is excited to see what the South Africans can deliver in Hamilton.

He says: “It’s always difficult to play in New Zealand...
“So this weekend, our message is to play for the badge on your chest, play for each other and make the most of this weekend in New Zealand.”
South Africa play Canada in Pool D at 10.10pm tonight and Spain at 1.38am and Argentina at 4.44am tomorrow morning.
