Anything that takes him out of the Springbok team would help. In sevens he would have to run a lot and tackle as well - so maybe he would be suited to the game.

In the past I would have said no way as his ball handling was poor, now it seems that all he does is run to contact, protect the ball and lay it back. Doesn't look for the offload or the angle.
His style of play would have to change dramatically. he does seem to have the natural ability

He would be an excellant 7s player. Given him space which is time to get his speed. He should have stayed on the wing instead of becoming a forward. Apart from in the lineout- his forward play onto the ball is not existent. He is a carrier but needs space- much like a wing

Can't tackle....no technique at all. You have to be able to tackle in 7s.
