The Blitzboks want to finish an “up and down” season on a high in the final Sevens event of the season this weekend.
Having already qualified for next year’s Olympic Games, the world champions will give away their crown at the end of the weekend.
But they want to do so with their heads held high according to captain Shakes Soyizwapi.
He says: “We would like to finish the season well.

“It was an up and down season for us.
“We had a lot of new players coming in, which impacted on our consistency, but crucially we managed to achieve our goal of a top-four finish.”
He adds: “We want to look back at our last tournament of the season as one we can proud of. We want to go out and do it for each other one more time.”
South Africa face Australia, Wales and Kenya in Pool B of the tournament on Saturday.
