Future Sevens' Stars with Marius Schoeman

Loading player...
This week is the Marius Schoeman 7s in Paarl and schools from across the country are taking part. In a country with one of the strongest senior sevens systems in the world, it's at events like this that the future stars are scouted.

For this week's show, Alex is at the Stellenbosch Academy of Sport to chat with the event's namesake and current SA 7s High Performance Manager, Marius Schoeman.

They discuss Marius's 7s career, what it takes to make it to the top, how scouting works, and what the SA pathways look like for young talent.

Marius also has a go at the quiz to see if he can beat Neil Powell's score of 6 from Craven Week.
