Unbeaten Blitzboks power into quarters
The national sevens side won all three their pool matches and will now face Australia in the quarter-final.
The Blitzboks topped Pool C of the Hong Kong Sevens with a commanding victory against Samoa this morning.
The South Africans opened their campaign with convincing victories over Ireland (22-17) and Spain (24-10) yesterday, before a solid 26-7 result against the Samoans kept their momentum going at the Hong Kong Stadium.

Leading 19-0 at half-time, Shilton van Wyk, Quewin Nortje, Impi Visser and Shaun Williams crossed the whitewash for the Blitzboks, with Dewald Human adding six points from the boot.
Interim coach Philip Snyman won’t be impressed with yellow cards shown to Ryan Oosthuizen and Christie Grobbelaar either side of the break, but the Blitzboks must regroup for a cup quarter-final showdown against Australia at 12:01.
