Springbok Sevens assistant coach Philip Snyman expressed disappointment at their failure to win the Cape Town Sevens.The Blitzboks suffered an agonising 10-7 Cup semi-final defeat to Samoa on Sunday.Samoa's Faafoi Falaniko kicked a composed drop goal in extra-time to break South African hearts.
It came after the game had gone to extra-time after the scores were level at 7-7. The Blitzboks had several chances to win the game in regulation time, but their finishing let them down."We only have ourselves to blame for what happened against Samoa and we need to take a hard look at ourselves.
We made crucial mistakes in critical areas of the game, like not converting opportunities into points, a couple of knock-ons and a passes that flew out the window.
So maybe it was because of a lack of concentration in critical moments," Snyman told reporters after the Samoa defeat."We would have liked to be in the final.
