The Blitzboks sing the national anthem in Dubai

Three Blitzboks and four Argentinians have been included in World Rugby’s seven-man Dream Team for the Dubai Sevens.

The Blitzboks were peerless as they powered to a record-eighth Dubai title this past weekend, securing pool-stage wins over Great Britain, Ireland and Japan before overpowering Australia in the quarter-finals, Argentina in the semi-finals and the USA in the title decider.

As a result of their dominance, Ronald Brown, Selvyn Davids and JC Pretorius have been selected in the Dream Team.

The composite team is completed by four Argentinians – Santiago Alvarez, Tomas Lizazu, Lautaro Bazan Velez and German Schulz – with no players from other teams making the cut.

A second Dubai Sevens tournament will take place this weekend, with the Blitzboks again drawn in a pool alongside Great Britain, Ireland and Japan.
