LOS ANGELES - The Springbok Sevens' miserable run in the World Series continues.
The Blitzboks were eliminated from the Los Angeles Sevens title race following a 17-5 defeat to Argentina.
Rosko Specman had put South Africa in front before losing Impi Visser to the sin-bin midway through the first half.
With Joaquin Pellandini having restored parity for Los Pumas before the break, the South Americans pressed on after the interval.
Sandile Ngcobo's charges had also lost to Ireland 17-0 in the opening encounter.
