Blitzboks undaunted by pressure

Loading player...
His team took a lot of confidence from their podium finish at the Paris Olympics, Blitzboks coach Philip Snyman argues ahead of the World Sevens Series in Dubai.
He believes his team will also be ready to handle the pressure of playing in Cape Town next week.
They will however be without the hugely influential Selvyn Davids who is injured but Snyman told the 'To the Last Drop' podcast they have sufficient contingencies in place to mitigate the blow.
Snyman also chuckles at the notion he might have picked up World Coach of the Year award had his team instead of France gone all the way at the Paris Olympics. He believes Boks coach Rassie Erasmus is more deserving of the accolade.
World Player of the Year, Pieter-Steph du Toit, also explains what winning the award a second time means to him.
Hosts Brenden Nel and Liam Del Carme also look ahead to this weekend's matches in the URC.
