Head coach Philip Snyman says the Blitzboks are aiming for a blockbuster end to their 2024-25 marketing campaign on the SVNS World Championship this weekend.
In accordance with Snyman, it will likely be a event with no second probabilities, scientific execution and most significantly, a possibility for the South Africans to ship a efficiency that may do their season justice.
South Africa will face Olympic champions France, Nice Britain and SVNS league winners Argentina on Saturday in Pool A. Fiji, Spain, Australia and New Zealand are in Pool B and the highest two groups in every pool will contest the semi-finals on Sunday.
“We are able to look again on the common collection the place we had a blended bag of outcomes, however this effort right here in Los Angeles will outline the season,” stated Snyman.
“There have been good moments, common moments and a few poor moments, however we’re trying in direction of this weekend, not behind us. We had our overview of the collection and know what we have been good at, or not.
“Our fourth place within the collection was an enchancment from the earlier yr, however we wish to be remembered for greater than that.

“To achieve success this weekend, we strategy this as an entire crew effort the place each particular person should be on level on the subject of roles and tasks and to make it possible for his job will get completed. I consider our system is such that we’ll achieve success if we handle that.”

“We wanted some new power, given the brief turnaround from Singapore, the place we didn’t ship,” the Blitzbok boss added.
“I’m completely satisfied to say we acquired that from them. General, it will likely be a weekend of enjoyment, effort and power and every of these gamers are in a position to present that. We’re in house.”
The three pool opponents will probably be a tricky nut to crack, however Snyman stated it’s anticipated, on condition that solely the perfect eight groups are competing.
“We’ve got received and misplaced towards all three in the course of the season, so it is going to come right down to the hassle of that match. There aren’t any simple video games and a scientific execution would be the distinction.”
