Selvyn Davids to debut for Springbok 7s

Springbok 7s head coach Neil Powell named his squad that will travel to the Hong Kong 7s.

The Blitsbok currently sit at the top of the World 7s Series and have won 4 of the 6 tournaments so far.

They head to Hong Kong without the services of World Sevens Series Player of the Year, Seabelo Senatla and Kwagga Smith who are on Super Rugby duty with the Stormers and Lions respectively.

The Blitsbok will welcome the return of Tim Agaba who spent a lengthy spell on the side-lines, while the likes of Justin Geduld and Kyle Brown are ruled out through injury.

Selvyn Davids and Ryan Oosthuizen are the 2 debutants in the squad, with Oosthuizen being selected as a traveling reserve.
