Highlights Of Last Night’s Blitzboks Gold Medal Match [Video]

A Commonwealth Games gold medal might not be as coveted as Olympic gold, but last night's win for the Blitzboks over Fiji is well worth a closer look.

The Blitzboks, current World Rugby Sevens Series leaders, outscored the Fijians five-tries-to-one in a 31-7 victory to finish the tournament unbeaten and repeat the gold medal-winning feat of Team SA in Glasgow in 2014.

A clever kick by Selvyn Davids put Muller du Plessis over in the corner for a converted try in the fourth minute, before JC Pretorius and Shaun Williams dotted down for a 17-0 lead at half time.The defensive effort from the Blitzboks must also be applauded in limiting the Fijians to a single try.
