Cape Town - The Springbok Sevens team got their Dubai Sevens campaign off to a fast start with a 36-0 win over Portugal on Friday.
The Blitzbokke, who led 21-0 at the break, ran in six tries in a clinical performance against a hapless Portugal side.
Werner Kok was impressive, bagging a hat-trick of tries.
In later games on Friday, South Africa will face Canada (10:00 SA time) and Wales (14:08).
The South Africans will be eager to improve in this weekend's event after a slow start to their Sevens World Series campaign at Australia's Gold Coast in October, when they finished fourth after losing the third place playoff game 19-0 to England.
Scorers:
South Africa:
Tries: Werner Kok (3), Seabelo Senatla, Cecil Afrika, Philip Snyman
Conversions: Branco du Preez (3)
Portugal: 0
