The Blitzboks stopped Fiji from becoming the first team to win the Singapore title in consecutive seasons
SINGAPORE — South Africa, rallying from a 19-point deficit, won for the second time in three tournaments while Canada finished tied for 11th on Sunday at the Singapore Rugby Sevens.
The U.S., which lost 28-7 to England in the third-place playoff, retains first place after eight events on the 10-stop HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series but is only three points ahead of Fiji. New Zealand is third ahead of South Africa and England.Canada remains 12th. A South African victory seemed impossible Sunday after a first half in which Fiji ran riot, exploiting handling errors and poor tackling to score three brilliant tries.
South Africa coach Neil Powell stirred up his young players during the halftime interval and they were a different team in the second half, eliminating errors and playing with much more focus.
