SA Sevens star Chris Dry came through the ranks at Free State, making his Currie Cup debut in 2009
Possessing great pace and superb skills, it wasn't long before SA Sevens coach Paul Treu took notice and signed the athletic loose forward. Dry has become an integral part of the SA Sevens team and has enjoyed some fantastic seasons on the Sevens World Series circuit.
Dry helped South Africa 7s claim the World Seven Series title during the 2016/17 season. In June 2017 he signed a short-term deal with Super Rugby and Currie Cup side the Cheetahs.
In August 2021, Dry announced his retirement from international Sevens rugby at the age of 33.
Dry made his debut in 2010 in Adelaide, Australia, and went on to represent the Springbok Sevens team in 74 HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series tournaments, which featured 373 matches for his country, while he scored 98 tries.
Dry also represented South Africa at the Rugby World Cup Sevens, won gold with the team at the Commonwealth Games and earned a fifth placed finish for Team South Africa in Rugby Sevens at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. He is also a two-time gold medal winner in the World Series with the Blitzboks, and made the World Series Dream team in 2017.
