This time around we speak to South Africa rugby sevens star Siviwe, also known as Shakes Soyizwapi. The Blitzboks have just claimed their first Canada Sevens title in Vancouver beating France 21-12 in the final of the sixth tournament in the World Rugby Sevens Series.

The first tournament win for the Springbok Sevens since June last year, when they clinched the Paris Sevens and with it the World Series.

Soyizwapi has been a vital part of the side, and is South Africa’s leading try scorer - currently 4th overall - with 21.
