Lategan links up with Springbok Women’s Sevens in Los Angeles

The experienced Liske Lategan has been called up by Springbok Women’s Sevens coach Renfred Dazel to replace the injured Maria Tshiremba in Los Angeles this weekend, the fifth tournament of 2024 HSBC SVNS.

Lategan was part of the squad in Dubai, Cape Town and Perth and on stand-by for the North American leg of the series.

Tshiremba injured her ankle in the team’s last match against Great Britain in Vancouver on Sunday and has been ruled out of the LA tournament.

The Bok Women will face New Zealand, crowned champions in Canada, in their opening match at Dignity Health Sports Park in the early hours on Saturday morning (SA time) and will face Fiji later in the day. They will also have a third consecutive outing against Brazil in their final pool match on Sunday.

South Africa faced New Zealand in Dubai and Vancouver, with the Kiwi side winning 19-14 and 35-5 respectively. The Bok Women have only faced Fiji once so far, also in Dubai, losing 21-17.

Their clashes against Brazil were also close encounters. They lost 7-0 in Perth and 17-12 in Vancouver.

Springbok Women’s Sevens pool schedule (SA times):

Saturday 2 March
03h36: New Zealand
22h26: Fiji

Sunday 3 March
03h02: Brazil

  1. Shahid Afridi used Sachin Tendulkar\’s bat to hit the fastest ever ODI century – Shahid Afridi was flown in to play for the Pakistan team from West Indies to Nairobi in 1996 and didn\’t have a proper bat. That\’s when Waqar Younis gave \’Young Afridi\’ Sachin Tendulkar’s bat. Afridi hit 11 sixes and six boundaries with the bat and scored a 37-ball century against Sri Lanka which was the then fastest ODI century. The record, broken later by Corey Anderson (36 balls), now belongs to South Africa\’s AB de Villiers (31 balls).

  2. The record for the most consecutive victories in international rugby is held by the New Zealand All Blacks, who achieved a 47-match winning streak between August 2010 and December 2012.
