TOULOUSE - The Springbok Sevens revived their hopes of advancing to the Cup quarter-final in Toulouse.
After suffering a 31-7 defeat in the opening Pool C encounter, Blitzboks responded with a crucial win over Fiji.
South Africa dealt well with wet conditions as Dewald Human scored the first of the four tries after two minutes.
Mfundo Ndhlovu increased the lead for Sandile Ngcobo's men with Human converting for a 12-0 half-time lead.
In the second period, the Blitzboks put the result beyond doubt as they managed to secure two further tries from Shilton van Wyk and Ricardo Duarttee on a stroke of full-time.
The final score was 24-7 in favour of South Africa, who head into the final Pool game against the USA on Saturday.
