The Springbok Women's Sevens have endure an injury-hit World Championship campaign.
The Springbok Women's Sevens left the HSBC SVNS Valladolid tournament with renewed confidence after securing ninth place, but coach Cecil Afrika's biggest concern may be the names piling up on his injury list.
South Africa ended the weekend on a high with victories over Argentina and Brazil, having also pushed Fiji close, as they improved on their 12th-place finish in Hong Kong earlier this month. However, fresh injury concerns surrounding Byrhandré Dolf and Lerato Makua have cast a shadow over those encouraging performances ahead of the season-ending World Championship event in Bordeaux.
Afrika confirmed he is awaiting medical assessments on both players, while Shanidené Bezuidenhout remains sidelined as she recovers from surgery.
"Lerato did not play on Sunday and Dolf left the field against Brazil, so we will have to wait on those options," said Afrika.
