Blitzboks Coach Snyman Frustrated After Singapore Sevens Slump

At the HSBC SVNS Singapore on Sunday, Fiji men's team edged France men's team 21-12 in the final, while New Zealand women's team defeated Australia women's team for a third straight crown.
Blessed with multiple try options, Fiji overturned early setbacks as Viwa Naduvalo, Kavekini Tanivanuakula, and Pilipo Bukayaro scored, while Terio Veilawa’s halftime tries shifted momentum.
Sudden-Death drama and a decisive semi determined the knockout lineup as a 19-19 pool match ended with Nacani Boginsoko sealing a 24-19 win and France men's team led 12-0 at half to beat Blitzboks 12-5, sending them to a third-place playoff.
Fijian flair ultimately decided the title as Jeremiah Metana, Fiji captain, scored to draw level during their comeback, capping a brilliant weekend for the Fiji men's team at HSBC SVNS Singapore.
Yellow cards to David Brits, Ricardo Duarttee and Donavan Don disrupted the Blitzboks, while muggy conditions and a slippery surface influenced momentum.
