The Blitzboks are looking forward to giving their home fans a performance they can be proud of as they chase a first series tournament victory in Cape Town since 2015.

Forward Zain Davids says last week away in Dubai they could really find each other again as a group.

Davids says they have this one opportunity and this time they are adding their families as their motivation.

He says playing in Cape Town is a privilege, not pressure and they should see it as such.

South Africa has been drawn to play Ireland, USA and Great Britain in Pool A.

Meanwhile, the Fiji Men’s side will take on France at 8.28 tonight in their first pool match, they will then take on Spain at 11.06 tonight before taking on Argentina at 4.50am tomorrow in their final pool match.

The cup quarter-finals will kick off at 8.34pm tomorrow, the semi-finals will start at 12.56am Monday and the cup final will be at 5.23am Monday.

The Fijiana 7s side will play Japan at 7.22 tonight in their first pool match, they will then play Spain at 9.34 tonight before playing Australia at 1.54am tomorrow in their last pool match.

The Women’s cup quarter-finals will start at 7pm tomorrow, the semi-finals will be at 12.12 am Monday and the women’s cup final will kick off at 4.43 am Monday.
