The South Africa 7s team is mindful that the challenge is now only going to get tougher with Fiji and New Zealand making their long-awaited return in the Singapore 7s this weekend.

South Africa's star player Selvyn Davids acknowledges it is every team’s dream to win the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series and Rugby World Cup Sevens but there is no chance in-form South Africa will look any further ahead than this weekend in Singapore.

The Blitzboks lead the current men’s World 7s Series standings having won six successive tournaments in 2021 and 2022.

Davids has been a prolific presence in that run, scoring 111 points in four tournaments this year.

He told World Rugby that even without Fiji and New Zealand on the circuit in the past few tournaments they knew they had to stay focused on themselves and try to get as close as possible to perfection.

Fiji will meet Ireland in their first match on Saturday at 2.22pm.

They will then face France at 5.06pm Saturday in their second match and play Japan at 8.22pm Saturday in their final pool match.

You can catch the live commentaries of all of Fiji’s games on our sister station, Viti FM.
