Met di\u00e9 oorwinning het hulle gewys hulle het nie hul gelyke in Kaapstad nie en die HSBC-Kaapstad-7’s-kroon behou. Australi\u00eb se vrouespan het die vrouekroon gewen toe hulle Nieu-Seeland geklop het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nadat die Springbok-7’s-span ‘n week gelede vyfde in Doebai ge\u00ebindig het, het Suid-Afrikaners se aandag na die HSBC-7’s-toernooi in Kaapstad in die DHL- stadion in Groenpunt verskuif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Blitsbokke het geskiedenis gemaak deur die eerste mansspan te word wat die Kaapstad-titel suksesvol verdedig. N\u00e1 afloop van die wedstryd het die Springbo7’s-kaptein, Impi Visser, ges\u00ea die span het ‘n eenvoudige leuse vir die naweek gehad: “Bly in die oomblik.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Visser het sy span se vermo\u00eb as deurslaggewend beskou vir ‘n tweede agtereenvolgende HSBC-7’s-Kaapstad-titel in die DHL-stadion op Sondag 7 Desember, toe die Blitsbokke met twee minute oor, diep moes delf . nadat hulle 19-14 agter was n\u00e1 Argentini\u00eb se derde drie net voor rustyd \u2013 wat die Suid-Afrikaners angstig gelaat het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ons het dit reggekry toe die groot oomblik op hande was en ons gereed was om dit te hanteer \u2013 dit was vandag die verskil,” het Visser ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die kaptein het verder ges\u00ea die oorwinning in die tweede ronde van die HSBC-7’s-seisoen het hul terugkeer voltooi n\u00e1 ‘n teleurstellende vyfde plek in Doebai verlede naweek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ons wou terugkom en dinge regstel, want ons het nie die trui regtig eer aangedoen nie. Hierdie naweek het ons teen baie sterk teenstanders gewys ons glo nog in die trui en waarvoor dit staan,” het hy bygevoeg.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Visser het ook erkenning gegee aan die bre\u00ebr groep spelers wat met voorbereiding gehelp het en het die Kaapstadse skare vir hul rol in die oorwinning geprys.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Hulle was instrumenteel; hulle het energie gebring en ons elke keer opgetel wanneer ons ‘n fout gemaak het.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Visser het spesiaal verwys na Christie Grobbelaar, wat die eerste keer in Kaapstad kon wen, en Nabo Sokoyi, wat as nuweling ‘n groot bydrae in die eindstryd gelewer het.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘n Rekordgetal 68\u2009124 toeskouers \u2013 36\u2009183 Saterdag en 31\u2009941 Sondag \u2013 het die toernooi bygewoon, waar 267 ongelooflike drie\u00eb oor die twee dae gedruk en deur die toeskouers gesien is.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suid-Afrika is met di\u00e9 oorwinning nou saam met Nieu-Seeland en Fiji bo-aan die punteleer met 32 punte n\u00e1 twee toernooie, gevolg deur Frankryk (28), Australi\u00eb (26) en Argentini\u00eb (24).\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shilton van Wyk, die speler van die eindstryd, het die ondersteuners en sy spanmaats vir ‘n ongelooflike HSBC-Kaapstad-7’s-toernooi bedank, maar eerstens alle eer aan God gegee. Hy het die toernooi dag vir dag geneem om as wenners bo uit te kom, het Van Wyk n\u00e1 die eindstryd ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
