Springboks celebrate after defeating Fiji in the Cup Quarterfinals of the Cape Town 7s

The Fiji Airways Men’s 7s side has been bundled out of the Cape Town 7s after South Africa came back to beat Fiji 26-31 in the cup quarterfinals.

Seabelo Senatla scored two tries for the Blitzboks.

The National Men’s 7s side led the Blitzboks 21-12 at halftime.

Mistackles and errors from the national side gave Kwagga Smith the opportunity to score under the sticks.

Fiji led the Blitzboks 26-24 with a minute remaining before speedster Senatla scored from a mistackle.
