Goodbye Springboks? Double World Cup winner Damian Willemse to chase Olympic dream

Siya Kolisi Nyakane dance movesIn the run-up to the Olympic Games, are the Blitzboks and sevens rugby going to steal one of the brightest players from the Springboks?

The legendary Springbok has disclosed that he may decide to forgo Test cricket in 2023 in order to play rugby sevens for his nation in the Tokyo Olympics the following year.

GAZZA ACCEPTS SPRINGBOKS FOR BLITZBOKS FOR TRADE

When the Springboks defeated the All Blacks in Paris on October 28, Willemse made history as the youngest player to win the World Cup twice.

Right now, Willemse is among the world’s most skilled and adaptable Test rugby players, and his presence is crucial to the success of the Springboks’ audacious playing philosophy and selection process.

During the HSBC SVNS Cape Town stop this past weekend, the Stormers star revealed to Bryan Habana, Jean de Villiers, and Hanyani Shimange on the Boks Squad podcast that he would think about taking his skills to the sevens circuit for the Blitzboks in an attempt to gain Olympic selection. This would be a major blow for the Springboks.

It’s always in the cards, really. Of course, I would adore to compete in the Olympics. Willemse told Boks Squad, “I think you also need training. Bryan mentioned that you need to spend some time on the field, training with the players.

He told the group of former Springboks, “This is a different sport, as I told Jean as well, because what these guys are doing, it’s crazy, it’s epic.” “And, yeah, I think that playing in the World Cup or the Olympics is something that every kid and rugby player dreams of, and obviously winning a medal would be the icing on the cake.”
