The South African leg of the HSBC Sevens World Series, was held at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Port Elizabeth, takes place on 7 and 8 December 2013.
The tournament was played in emotionally charged circumstances after the death of beloved South African and world statesman, Nelson Mandela, who passed away in the night of 5 December 2013.
In these circumstances the open question was whether South Africa’s Blitzbokke could go one better than the previous tournament when they were beaten in the final by Fiji.
The question was answered… the South African Blitzbokke are the winners and title holders at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Port Elizabeth!

2nd One day international in Durban – India are 130/6 off 28 overs and 4 balls chasing 281. SA got 280/6
Hope the Blitzbokke has some gas in the tank left for the Final!
2nd Half On!
Game is a 49 over one. Amla and de Kock both got hundreds, congratulations to them – it was de Kock’s 2nd hundred in a row and in Amla’s innings he got to 4000 ODI runs (in his 81st) innings this makes him the quickest player to get to this milestone, overtaking the previous record holder the great Viv Richards who needed 7 innings more to get to 4000 runs
176 @ grootblousmile:
Having watched this tournament GBS do you think Blitzbokke have what it takes to beat New Zealand who only beat Samoa 19/5, were New Zealand holding back for the final or are they not as dominant as before?
Try Kwagga Smith…. one way traffic
178 @ Bullscot:
Will have to see… New Zealand had a bruiser against Samoa… Sevens is bloody tiresome
