Blitzboks off to winning start in Sydney

Cape Town - The Blitzboks have started their Sydney Sevens campaign off in empathic fashion, beating both Scotland and Russia with ease.

Neil Powell's men easily accounted for Scotland 33-7 in their first game of the day with tries from Seabelo Senatla (2), Rosko Specman, Cheslin Kolbe and Sandile Ngcobo.

They followed that up with an easy 40-0 victory over Russia with Senatla continuing his sensational form by scoring a hat-trick. 

They now face Kenya at 10h05 (SA time)  in their final Pool B encounter to determine the winner of the pool.
