Brave Blitzboks Sink Argentina To Stay Alive In The Singapore Sevens

The Blitzboks spectacularly kept alive their Singapore Sevens aspirations when they upset champions Argentina thanks to a post-hooter try by Zander Reynders.

It was a brave performance by the South Africans against a classy Pumas side that is unaccustomed to defeat and looked to have the game sewn up when they led 24-21 with seconds to go.

But the Blitzboks forced a penalty, and nearly two minutes of attack culminated in Reynders haring after a grubber through the defence, and he won the race to the dot down.

The Pumas went into the game having scored a mammoth 111 tries this season and they were overwhelmingly favoured to beat South Africa.

They scored an early try, but Zain Davids equalised when he finished powerfully in the corner.
