With the HSBC 7s Circuit starting December 5, teams are starting to compete in their first tournaments of the year. 

Oktoberfest, played in Munich, kicks off what should be another fantastic year of Rugby 7s. With the Olympics on the horizon, players will be chomping at the bit to impress for their country. 

With only 13 spots available for each Olympic team, every tournament is crucial for the players. 

The first Blitzbokke side features South Africa's two most experienced 7s players of all time, Bronco du Preez and Chris Dry. 

Fellow HSBC Circuit regulars Siviwe "Shakes" Soyizwapi, Selvyn Davids, Stedman Gans, Zain Davids, Mfundo Ndhlovu, and James Murphy will also be competing. The latter four all fell victim to injury during last season's campaign and will be itching to get back into action.
