Dewald Human and Mfundo Ndhlovu to join Blitzboks in France

Dewald Human and Mfundo Ndhlovu will replace the injured Cecil Afrika and Branco du Preez in the Springbok Sevens squad for the HSBC Paris Sevens on 9-10 June at the Stade Jean Bouin in the French capital.

Afrika (hamstring) and Du Preez (shoulder) will return to South Africa for treatment. Human and Ndhlovo will fly out to France on Monday.

 

Human made his debut for the Blitzboks in Paris last year and captained the side to Hong Kong in March, where they won bronze.

 Ndhlovu, who debuted in Hong Kong earlier this season, will join the squad as 13th player. Stedman Gans, who travelled to London as the official reserve, was promoted to the starting squad.


 

The Blitzboks trail Fiji by seven points and will face Canada, Russia, and Scotland in Pool B of the tournament.
