Blitzboks stumble in Hong Kong but stay fourth on overall standings

It seems a case of one step forward and two back for the Blitzboks after they finished a disappointing seventh at the Hong Kong leg of the 2018/2019 World Series on Sunday.

They lost 21-12 to the World Series leaders the USA in the quarterfinals and then gave up a 12-0 lead in a fight for fifth with Argentina‚ losing 19-17. There was a sliver of good news as SA stayed in fourth on the overall standings‚ nine points clear of England in a race for one of the four automatic Olympic qualifying berths.

Visser scored soon after the restart to cut down their lead to two before Ben Pinkelman scored to edge the USA ahead again. The final five minutes was a desperate affair‚ but neither side could score.
