Blitzboks: Fixtures, kick off times for this weekend
· The South African
The Blitzboks head into this weekend’s Vancouver Sevens sitting second on the log with two tournaments to play in the normal series.
The Springbok Sevens squad arrived in Canada with a squad that show six changes from the side that won in Perth, and with a firm belief in the camp that they can maintain their good 2026 form and stay on the right side of each result.

Coach Phili Snyman said it was a tough call to make the changes, but that their main objectives – to broaden the playing depth and to have as many fit players as possible for the World Championship tournaments later in the season – have not changed.
The next two world series tournaments are on consecutive weekends in Vancouver (7-8 March) and New York (14-15 March).
