Three Springbok Sevens players have been named in the Dream Team following last weekend's Dubai Sevens.
Organisers announced the team on Monday, after fans were given the opportunity to vote for their seven best players of the event.
The Blitzboks were crowned champions after they beat Ireland 21-5 in the Cup final. Three South Africans - skipper Siviwe Soyizwapi, Branco du Preez and newbie Ricardo Duarttee - were rewarded for stellar performances by inclusion in the Dream Team.
The Dubai Sevens Dream team is as follows:
Perry Baker (USA), Ricardo Duarttee (SA), Branco du Preez (SA), Harry McNulty (Ireland), Mark Roche (Ireland), Akuila Rokolisoa (NZ), Siviwe "Shakes" Soyizwapi (SA)
