Cape Town - South Africa's Frankie Horne has been selected in the Sevens World Series Dream Team after the completion of the 2012/13 series.
This honour comes after Horne became the first player to play 50 consecutive tournaments in the series when he represented the Blitzbokke at the London Sevens over the weekend.
It's also the first time a Dream Team has been picked to highlight the impact of seven special players. The side was selected by the regular television commentators who, between them, watched every minute of the action across the nine rounds.
Horne has won 10 tournaments with the Blitzbokke and was a member of the 2008/09 squad that won the series for the first time.
He was victorious in Adelaide (2008, 2009), Dubai (2008), George (2008), Las Vegas (2011, 2013), London (2011), Edinburgh (2011), Tokyo (2013) and Glasgow (2013).
New Zealand, who won the London Sevens, were crowned 2012/13 series winners, with South Africa finishing second.
