Defending Cape Town champions South Africa, booked their place in the last four of the HBSC Sevens winning all three of their matches to set up a Cup decider against France at 12:22 on Sunday, 7 December in the DHL Stadium.
In the other decider, Argentinia will face Fiji at 12:44.
The third try of Shilton van Wyk’s hat-trick, after the hooter, pulled victory out of the jaws of defeat for hosts and defending champions South Africa, as they came from behind on the final play of their opening match to beat Fiji 24-21.
The Blitzboks went two for two as a thrilling score from Ronald Brown sent South Africa free and clear in their second outing of the day against New Zealand, despite twice playing with a numerical disadvantage. His touchdown meant Scott Gregory’s after-the-hooter score did not affect the result. It ended 19-14 to the hosts.
In their last match, South Africa gave their ecstatic home fans plenty to cheer as they beat Great Britain 41-7 to take the defence of their title into the semi-finals. Sonwabo Sokoyi scored on debut, while Roan Frostwick touched down for Great Britain late on to avoid a second nilling in two tournaments.
