Instead, Snyman says the Blitzboks will take a more holistic approach, aiming to combine growth and development with on-field success. \u201cWe want to continue building the team while striving for excellence on the pitch,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The new season structure was recently confirmed, with World Rugby announcing that the series will return to Cape Town. The Blitzboks will defend their title at the DHL Stadium in the Western Cape on December 6 and 7.<\/p>\n
A new format will see eight men\u2019s and eight women\u2019s teams competing in the first six tournaments, which Snyman predicts will produce \u201coutstanding rugby\u201d and showcase some of SA\u2019s finest talent on new playing surfaces across the globe.<\/p>\n
