SAS 7s Game Day vs @forwardfoundationsa 

“The games went very well. It was a good reflection of where we are as a team. Performance wise, there were good aspects and some things we’re going to continue to work on. But again, that’s the idea behind this. Most importantly, the guys had a good opportunity, and now we’ve got a good way of measuring where they are.” - @chrisdry7

SAS 7s - Block 3 

The hustle continues as we continue into Block 3 of the SAS 7s programme this week.

SAS 7s x @sweat_1000 

As the boys prepare to head into their upcoming game block, we brought them out to SWEAT1000 for their game-changer. SWEAT, which stands for Specialized Weight Endurance Athletic Training, is about pushing limits. The ‘1000’ represents the calories burned in the 1-hour workout, integrating the best components of interval training, functional training, core stability work, athletic training, and agility training. 

Big thank you to the SWEAT1000 team and @andrewsweat1000 and @paulsweat1000 for the incredible experience!

The SAS 7s players are back in action this week with Block 2 in full swing! Here’s what Head Coach @chrisdry7 had to share after today’s dynamic session with the Blitzboks:

“Programme is going very well. Intensity is picking up. We are at a stage where we are combining training as well as conditioning. We had a good run-in with the @blitzboks this morning and we’re heavily focused to get some good structures and execution for the next block.”
