Sevens make enforced changes for PE

Steven Hunt, Kwagga Smith and Rosco Speckman were called up as injury cover for Stephan Dippenaar, Jamba Ulengo and Frankie Horne.

Dippenaar was ruled out of action with a hamstring injury, while Ulengo is doubtful because of a foot injury.

Horne suffered a blow to the leg this past weekend in Dubai, where the Springbok Sevens finished as runners-up to Fiji in Round Two of the HSBC Sevens World Series.

Hunt, Smith and Speckman were all in action in Dubai, where they helped the SA Sevens Academy team defend their Dubai Invitational title for a fourth successive time.

They arrived in Port Elizabeth on Tuesday and joined the squad for their first training session.

Springbok Sevens coach Neil Powell will announce his 12-man squad tomorrow.
