The team delivered their best performance of the season on the opening day, as they showed initiative on attack and tightened up their defence. But despite this they went down 26-7 against the USA and 31-7 against New Zealand.
However, they managed to salvage one fair result in their final match against Fiji.
The Springbok Women’s Sevens started their clash against the USA on a solid note with Nosiphiwo Goda scoring the first try of the match to put the team 7-0 ahead. But their lead was short-lived as the USA bounced back strongly with a try to level the scores.
They added another shortly before half time to take a 14-7 lead at the break, and then built on this in the second half with two more tries to secure a 26-7 victory.
In their second match South Africa leaked an early try against New Zealand as they missed several one-one tackles. The log-leaders supported this with a second try minutes later thanks to another strong run up-field for a 14-0 lead.
