Fiji's Sevuloni Mocenacagi holds onto the ball during the Singapore Rugby Sevens Cup final match between South Africa and Fiji in Singapore on April 14, 2019.SINGAPORE - South Africa recovered from a 19-point deficit to stun defending champions Fiji and win the World Rugby Sevens Series tournament in Singapore on Saturday.
South Africa won all five of their matches on their run to the final in Singapore which included a 17-7 victory over Fiji during pool play on Saturday before wins against Samoa in the quarter-finals and USA in the semi-finals. The comeback was completed when Fiji conceded a penalty right in front of the posts in the final minute and Davids drop-kicked the winning points to secure his side’s second victory in this year’s series following their triumph in Vancouver last month.
With the top four teams in this year’s series earning berths at the 2020 Olympics, the US only need six more points from the final two tournaments in London and Paris to book their spot in Tokyo.
