South Africa’s most-capped Springbok Sevens player, Branco du Preez, has retired from international sevens rugby and will leave the Blitzboks with a bouquet of career records, gold medals and highlights.

He played in 431 matches and scored 1447 points, including 101 tries that saw him clinch 24 tournament wins and three World Series gold medals, and a Commonwealth Games gold medal in his bag.
The 32-year-old made his debut in Wellington in 2010 and has been a Blitzbok stalwart ever since.
Du Preez says the time has come to turn a new page and say goodbye to the Blitzboks team and says he is sad to leave but excited about what is to come.
