SEVENS RUGBY
Blitzboks slip up in final but stay top of standings
05 February 2018 - 05:30
Olympic champions Fiji delivered their best performance in nearly two years as they beat the Blitzboks 24-17 in the final of the Hamilton leg of the World Sevens Series on Sunday. Victory meant Fiji were the fourth different winner after four tournaments this season. SA won in Dubai, New Zealand in Cape Town, and Australia in Sydney. The Blitzboks, though, have been the most consistent side with three final appearances and, after claiming another 19 log points for their runners-up finish in Hamilton, head the standings with 77 points.
