BlitzBoks coach wary of 'tough' Perth SVNS draw
By Henry Lee
Ahead of the highly anticipated Perth SVNS Series circuit in late January, the BlitzBoks coach has reacted to their tough pool play draw, which includes hosts Australia, the USA and current series champions Argentina.
The SVNS Series held in Perth will be the first circuit of 2025, at HBF Park on January 24-26.
Head coach of the BlitzBoks Philip Snyman spoke to the media about the team's pool play draw.
“We came back into camp on 2 January with a clear understanding that we are building again,” said Snyman to the media.
“Seeing the pool today was a final confirmation that the challenge will be real, but also the knowledge that we are already a week in towards the next goal, to do well in Perth.”
Snyman is well aware of the challenge that the draw will bring, including a USA team that is on the up.
“The USA remains a tough team, wherever you play them, so the pool is certainly a tough one.”
There is also a clear advantage playing at home, as the BlitzBoks used their advantage when they beat Argentina in their last encounter 29-5. So Snyman is well aware of how dangerous Australia will be at their home series in Perth.
“The Cape Town win, as awesome as it was for us in front of our home crowd, is in the past, the holidays are done, but not so the hard work for the rest of the year, including Perth.”
The BlitzBoks are happy to welcome back some of their players from injury after many missed the home series in Cape Town.
“It was nice to have the likes of Ryan Oosthuizen, Selvyn Davids, and Ronald Brown back at training though after they all missed Cape Town due to injury as they are all experienced players and will widen my options for selecting a side to Perth.
“The fact that we know what is waiting on that side will also help.”
On the Women’s side of the draw, 2024 SVNS champions Australia are in pool C with Spain, France and China.
Series leaders New Zealand will face Brazil, Japan and Ireland in pool A.
Both series are wide open, with four different title winners across the first two SVNS series rounds in Cape Town and Dubai.

REACH OUT TO TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY FOR A GREAT JOB

Fine wine and crypto do not always blend well, especially after a few drinks. I learned this the hard way after a record harvest at my vineyard. Swirling an old Cabernet under the stars, I was a financial connoisseur, my $720,000 Bitcoin wallet aging well for future returns. But the next morning, with a hangover as intense as my Merlion, I realized I'd forgotten my wallet password. Even worse, my recovery phrase, which I'd written down in my wine cellar notebook, had vanished. My eager new assistant had tidied up, mistaking my scribbled security notes for wine tasting spillage, and donated the entire book to the recycling gods. I dove into the garbage cans like a desperate sommelier searching for a quality grape but came up with broken dreams and soggy cardboard. Panic set in faster than cork taint. I faced the bitter truth: my digital fortune was bottled up tighter than a corked bottle with no opener. I sank into denial, questioning whether my future vineyard expansion would now be reduced to selling boxed wine. I panicked, pored over industry publications, and came across a wine industry newsletter that mentioned Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Their slogan, something playful about "decanting lost crypto," seemed like a sign from God. I contacted them, half-expecting snobbery or skepticism. What I received instead were tech wizards who tackled my case with humor and precision. Their team labored over my case like veteran sommeliers dissecting terroir. They painstakingly reconstructed transaction flows, timestamp records, and subtle wallet behavior. It was as if I was watching wine connoisseurs sniff out hints of blackcurrant and oak, but with algorithms and blockchain forensics. Each day, they provided updates with the finesse of tasting notes. “We’re detecting progress, notes of potential access, hints of password recovery on the finish.” Their creativity lightened my anxiety, and ten days later, they uncorked my digital vault. When I saw my Bitcoin balance restored, I nearly opened a bottle of my best vintage at 9 AM. My assistant and I shared a hearty laugh; he's still working for me, but now he labels my ledgers with "DO NOT TOUCH" in bold. My wine business is thriving thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, and I have a new rule: passwords before Pinot. Cheers to their genius!
