Sons of Sevens: December 2011

Kitch Christie once said " The truth is simple.You can't be world class unless you have world class problems,the opposition is the opportunity". Now, for those of you who don't know Kitch Christie,he was the only South African Springbok coach who has a 100% record for 14 consecutive matches.Yes, you might say it was only 14 matches but still he has the record and even in a World Cup year where teams bring their A game. Now this quote is nowhere else in the world more true than in sevens, every tournament you have fifteen world class problems, lets for arguments sake say it's sixteen. Why sixteen you might ask if you are only sixteen teams including yourself in a tournament?

Well,it's quite simple. You can be as much prepared as you like for any opponent, but if you are not prepared for your own mistakes and problems that might occur in a match (believe me they happen more often than you expect or hope for) then you are done for and then it's back to the drawing board to hopefully go and fix it the next time. So then, is every team world class? No,not every team. But every team has the ability to be. The team that i am part of, is not world class. It's phenomenal! Pardon me if it sounds arrogant but i've never been part of a more humble,committed, hard working and passionate team than this. And it's all the support from our fans,friends and loved ones that makes us who we are. We all come from such diverse backgrounds and past and were all blended together to form something truly special.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you everyone that supported us during this year.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
