Sbu Sithole Try Secures Sevens Victory
The SA Sevens ("Blitzbokke") defeated Australia in the final of the Edinburgh Sevens thanks to a wonderful try from Sbu Sithole of The Sharks Academy. With his team trailing and the hooter having sounded, he went on a wonderfully impressive run that started in no man's land, took him down the flank as he shrugged off the tackles of two defenders to score the cup-winning try. Possibly the most exciting match of the year!

Our congratulations to Sbu for his achievements; it's great to have Sharks Academy Players performing with such ability and honour at a top international level.

Marcell Coetzee included in Sharks 22
