Cape Town - Following their heartbreak at the London Sevens, two Springbok Sevens players received some consolation when they were included in the Dream Team for the tournament.
The Blitzboks butchered a golden opportunity to win the Cup final when Scotland scored twice in the last 30 seconds to win 27-26 and claim their first ever Sevens World Series title.
Three Scots - Mark Robinson, Damien Hoyland and Scott Riddell - were named in the Dream Team for the event, while South Africa’s Rosko Specman and Tim Agaba cracked the nod, along with New Zealand’s Rieko Ioane and America’s Perry Baker.
