No Blitzboks in London Dream Team

2019-05-27 10:43

Cape Town - No South Africans cracked the nod for the Dream Team named after this past weekend's London Sevens at Twickenham.

It was a disappointing Sunday for the Blitzboks, who were beaten 29-22 by Australia in the Cup quarter-finals before losing 21-17 to New Zealand in the fifth-place semi-final.

London champions Fiji have two players - Meli Derenalagi  and Jerry Tuwai - in the Dream Team, while runners-up Australia also boast two, namely Maurice Longbottom and Henry Hutchison.

The rest of the Dream Team comprises USA's Stephen Tomasin, France's Pierre-Gilles Lakafia and New Zealand's Andrew Knewstubb.
