It is the first win on home soil by South Africa since the 2015/16 season. Also, it was the 11th time in a row that the Blitzboks beat the French Sevens team in South Africa.

The Blitzboks went into the tournament on the back of a poor showing in the first event of the new season in Dubai last weekend, finishing in sixth place.

But they came out fighting at home, beating Ireland and Argentina in their pool and then edging Spain in the semifinals.
