MUST WATCH: New Bok jersey revealed

From a short behind-the-scenes clip shared on social media, the Blitzboks have given a glimpse of their new jersey design for the upcoming sevens campaign.

The Blitzboks, under the leadership of Philip Snyman — who has been appointed as head coach on a permanant basis — will start their 2024/25 season at the Dubai Sevens between 30 November and 1 December, before heading to the Mother City for the Cape Town Sevens on 7 and 8 December.

As it stands, the team is currently at its base in Stellenbosch, where they assembled a couple of weeks ago in preparation for the looming season.

Earlier this week, the Blitzboks released a short behind the scenes video clip featuring several players kitted out in their new jersey.

SPRINGBOK SEVENS TEAM’S NEW COACH NAMED

A month ago, SA Rugby confirmed the appointment of former Springbok Sevens captain Philip Snyman as head coach of the Blitzboks after taking care of the team in an acting capacity since March.

Snyman took over as interim coach following a series of poor results in HSBC SVNS and the subsequent departure of Sandile Ngcobo; and under his guidance, the Blitzboks won the World Rugby Sevens Repechage tournament in Monaco to gain entry to the Olympic Games in Paris, where they walked away with the bronze medal.

Snyman, who has previous experience as head coach with Uganda and Germany before his appointment as Blitzboks assistant coach in 2023, thanked SA Rugby for their faith.

“It is a massive honour to be appointed as full-time head coach, a position that demands the best of what the Blitzboks can be and a position I always aspired too when I became a coach,” said Snyman.
