Blitzboks Aim to Build on LA Success – Davids

The Blitzboks went unbeaten in Los Angeles, finishing with a 19-5 win over Spain to claim the World Championship title.

Davids believes consistency was the key difference.

"This was our most consistent tournament. The main thing for us was to just stay in the moment, it doesn't matter if things go well or badly, if you relish the moment and forget the past, then you will be successful," said Davids.

Argentina finished with 104 points and claimed the overall SVNS World Series title. 

The World Championship winners, the Blitzbokke, ended the series in fourth with 70 points, their only triumph coming in Cape Town.

Named Player of the Final, Davids says they’ll need to replicate their World Championship form to improve next season.

"In sevens rugby, the most important thing is to just remain consistent, not just in one tournament, but throughout the series. 

Next year is going to bring more tournaments than before, so if we can remain consistent for nine tournaments in a row, things are going to be great," asserted the Blitzbok's captain.

South Africa bounced back when it mattered most after arriving in LA at the back of two disappointing ninth-place finishes, in Singapore and Hong Kong, the skipper praised the team’s all-round effort.

The trio of Ronald Brown, Mfundo Ndhlovu, and Quewin Nortje boosted the squad for the trip to the USA, and that benefitted Phillip Snyman’s outfit.

Despite an up-and-down campaign, Davids says the team played with heart and pride, fighting for each other and the badge.
