South Africa's Blitzboks oozed pure class, as they defeated the highly-fancied England 33-12 in their final Pool C clash on Saturday, and will now advance to Sunday's quarterfinals at the HSBC World Sevens Series in Sydney.
Although England enjoyed a fair share of possession, they failed to make headway against the solid defence of the South Africans.
Earlier on Saturday, the Blitzboks whitewashed Spain 38-0 to add to their 50-0 win over Papua New Guinea on Friday.
Scorers:
South Africa 33 (12): Tries: Seabelo Senatla (2), Cecil Afrika, Justin Geduld (2). Conversions: Geduld (4)
England 12 (7): Tries: Oliver Lindsay-Hague, Daniel Bibby. Conversion: Bibby
South Africa will now face Kenya in the quarterfinals on Sunday at 2:50am (CAT, GMT+2).
