South Africa are out of the running for the HSBC 2021/2022 Sevens Series title after losing two of their LA 7s pool games earlier today.

South Africa went down 21-7 to the hosts USA in their first pool match.

While they were able to win their second pool match 12-0 against Canada, New Zealand were too strong as they bundled them out of the cup competition with a convincing 17-14 win.

Now that South Africa is out, it’s a three way race to get the title between Australia(122), Argentina(118), and Fiji(104).

If Australia progresses to the cup semi-finals, they will be crowned the series winners.

Fiji still has a chance if they win the tournament, and Australia loses in the quarter finals and also loses in the plate semi-finals.

Argentina just needs to progress to the final to win the series if Australia gets knocked out.
