South Africa 7s captain Kyle Brown believes they have what it takes to break their 12 year drought in New Zealand.

Brown said the players know the pressure of performing to their best in Wellington and the message is crystal clear for them to maintain their consistency.


Brown added that the main component of their game will be their tight defense as this was evident in their win in Las Vegas as they only conceded 14 points in the tournament.


South Africa will line up pool matches against England, Wales and Portugal.

Meanwhile, Fiji will take on New Zealand in their first pool match at 2.06pm, their second pool match is against France at 5.35pm and they will face Spain at 7.28pm in their last pool match tomorrow.

The Cup quarterfinals kick off at 1.33pm Saturday, the Cup semifinals are scheduled for 5.35pm while the Cup final kicks off at 8.30pm.
