Schalk Brits is heading to Glasgow after being named in South Africa‘s Commonwealth Games squad.
The Saracens hooker will link up with Test superstar Bryan Habana in a very strong Blitzbokke 12-man group as they try to better the bronze medal they won in Delhi in 2010.
Head coach Neil Powell has also included Cornal Hendricks, who is set to make his full Springbok debut this weekend after facing the World XV last Saturday.
The Commonwealth Games tournament will kick off on July 26.
South African Commonwealth Sevens squad: Chris Dry, Schalk Brits, Frankie Horne, Kyle Brown, Branco du Preez, Cheslin Kolbe, Justin Geduld, Cecil Afrika, Bryan Habana, Seabelo Senatla, Cornal Hendricks, Warren Whitley.
