The South Africa 7s will be a major threat to the USA in its cup quarterfinal as they are chasing their first ever Hong Kong title this weekend.
South Africa emerged undefeated from its pool beating Japan 22-7, thumping Scotland in its second pool game 26-10, and hammered Samoa 21-7.

On the other hand, Series leader the USA is also gunning for its first Hong Kong title.
Both teams have never won in the World Seven’s Capital before.
Meanwhile, barring any upset, Fiji will face the winner of South Africa and USA match in the semi-final.
