The Blitzboks’ 17-7 win over Fiji‚ winners in Hong Kong last week‚ has set up a quarterfinal against Samoa on Sunday.
“We realised Fiji would be desperate after their earlier loss to Scotland‚ but we countered them well‚ with the young guys showing a lot of energy‚” assistant-coach Renfred Dazel said. “Our guys need to recover well though‚ as we were the last two teams to play and there is a short turn-around.”“They are playing very well over the last couple of months and are very consistent. We beat them last weekend‚ but they change their gameplan around‚ so we need to be ready.Against Scotland‚ the first half was a tight affair.
The sixth try by the Blitzboks was a memorable one for Angelo Davids‚ who crossed the tryline for the first time in the Green and Gold‚ and confirmed a strong win.
