17 points clear at the top of the World Rugby Sevens Series, the Blitzboks beat Canada 24-7 and then smashed France 31-0 to suggest that they are very much the team to beat once again.

Against France, Justin Geduld stole the show with 2 tries while Rosko Specman, Siviwe Soyizwapi and Werner Kok all got over for tries of their own.

Earlier, the Blitzboks had eased past Canada with Ruhan Nel, Specman (2) and Branco du Preez all scoring tries to see the South Africans home
