The Blitzboks continued their perfect start to the Hong Kong Sevens with a 31-17 win against Scotland on Saturday. DYLAN JACK reports.
South Africa opened the scoring when Zain Davids ran a beautiful line on to a pass from Stedman Gans to cut through the defence and score under the posts.
The Blitzboks doubled their lead when Gans ran in under the posts again to make it 14-0.
However, the Scots then hit back when Darcy Graham finished off a move which started in their 22. On the stroke of half-time, Scotland got their second when George Horne chipped the ball ahead and collected it to dot down in the corner.
