Zander Reynders reflects on his first try for the Blitzboks, in an end-to-end thriller against 2024-25 SVNS league winners Argentina in Singapore on Saturday.
Reynders’ after-the-buzzer touchdown, scored after South Africa showed superb patience on attack, secured Philip Snyman’s charges a 26-24 win at the National Stadium.
However, a 38-10 defeat to Great Britain in their opening pool match saw the South Africans fail to qualify for the last four, and they face the USA in the ninth-place semi-finals on Sunday (5.50am).
The Argentines were made to work hard to retain their title, bouncing back to beat Team GB 19-12 to claim their place in the cup semis and in doing so, clinch the crown.
