Soyizwapi prioritises process over milestones

BLITZBOK captain Siviwe Soyizwapi could become the record holder for most tries at the National Stadium this weekend, but he won't be chasing milestones at the HSBC SVNS Singapore.

Instead, he will be focused on maintaining the standards the team set by winning the last leg of the world series in Cape Town, and on ensuring that the younger players in the team play with confidence."We have a balanced side, but we are short of experience and will be tested with our key playmakers not here. For the experienced core, our role will be to make sure those new guys settle in and play the game they were selected for,’ said Soyizwapi as he posed for the traditional captains photo. They are not here by luck; they are here because they have the talent and the opportunity to show that."
