Their carefully planned training programme and ambitions to become a core team on the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series in 2020/21 came to nothing as the tournament was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Now, instead of playing in front of supporters, the squad reverted to social media to “introduce” themselves to fans and followers, in a series of videos titled “seven things you did not know about me”.

The first seven tweets revealed some very interesting admissions from our Imbokodo.

Former sprinter Alyssa Conley told us of her versatility in the kitchen.

Catha Jacobs, a World Series debutant at the HSBC Cape Town Sevens, revealed what sport she excelled in before rugby sevens while Buhle Sonamzi introduced her dog, Romeo, to us!

Some of the players also have some hidden musical talents – Mathrin Simmers sang in the church choir and Christelene Steinhobel told us about her prowess on the acoustic guitar.

Eloise Webb shared a something she only recently found out she feared, and Lusanda Dumke explained why Australia is her favourite country visited.
