Blitzboks to face Fiji in Vancouver semis
Today at 11:24 PM
The Blitzboks beat Australia in their Canada Sevens Cup quarter-final to set up a semi-final with Fiji.
The 17-14 win was sweet revenge for Philip Snyman’s side, who suffered a controversial 17-12 extra-time defeat to the Australians in the Perth semi-finals when several refereeing decisions went against them.
This time round, tries by Ronald Brown, Ryan Oosthuizen and Shilton van Wyk gave the Blitzboks a 17-0 lead and while Australia hit back with two tries, it wouldn’t be enough.
