Blitzboks survive scare against USA
A late try by Ronald Brown saved the Blitzboks from a disastrous start to the Perth Sevens.
The South Africans beat the United States 24-19 after trailing 17-19 until the final minute.
The Blitzboks started well with early tries from Ricardo Duarttee and Quewin Nortjé, but Impi Visser's yellow card midway through the first half was a turning point.
Will Chevalier scored twice to give the Americans a 14-12 lead at the break.
The Blitzboks face hosts Australia later on Friday and Argentina on Saturday morning.
