It wasn’t just their win over the USA that helped secure their passage as pool A winners.They scored 26 unanswered points after they stared down the barrel early on against the defending series champions.
Their defence was exposed after three consecutive penalties resulted in a yellow card for Seabelo Senatla. It helped Jerry Tuwai spot a gap and later Vilimoni Botitu streaked into space to hand the islanders a 14-0 lead. Despite the capricious weather the crowd warmed to the occasion. The sun played hide and seek but that did not deter Capetonians from dressing up and some down for the occasion.
