The Springbok Sevens overcame USA 24-7 to finish 2nd in Pool C of the HSBC France Sevens on Saturday. The Blitzboks will now face Argentina later today, kickoff at 19:05.
The Blitzboks scored four tries to one in a match where the South Africans clearly found their groove on attack.
They opened the scoring in the first minute. From the first line-out in the match, the ball was worked wide and when recycled, Ronald Brown spotted a gap and ran 80 meters to score.

The USA came back strong when shrugged off a weak Shaun Williams tackle to score, with the conversion pushing the North Americans ahead at the break.
Dewald Human was yellow carded for a dangerous tackle, but the SA defence held firm for the remainder of the half.
The second half started well again for the SA side and Christie Grobbelaar sliced through the USA defence to score under the sticks.
Human converted and scored himself soon after a lovely Blitzboks attack, with Justin Geduld and Ryan Oosthuizen involved as well. Human converted for 19-7 scoreline.
Geduld then made a clutch tackle to snuff out a dangerous USA attack before Williams held off two defenders to score in the corner.
