The Blitzboks Olympic Games Sevens campaign hangs by a thread after they suffered defeats against Ireland and New Zealand.
Only the top two teams in each pool and the two best third placed teams will reach the quarters, leaving the Blitzboks with a slight chance of progressing.
In the second half Leo streaked away to score his second and the only try of the period to secure them a comfortable win. In other games Olympic defending champs Fiji got their campaign off to the perfect start, beating Uruguay 40-12 and USA 38-12, to cruise into the knockouts with a game to spare.
