Blitzboks to face Argentina in Olympic quarterfinals
Updated | By Karabo Tebele
The Blitzboks will face Argentina in the quarterfinals of the rugby sevens at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
The South Africans secured a clean sweep in their pool games after beating USA 17-12, Ireland 33-14, and 14-5 against Kenya on Monday.
South Africa's defence played a massive role in their victory over the United States.
In the match against the USA, the South African defence held sway in a match that was played in a slight drizzle, impacting on the passing game of both teams.
Their pressing defence when USA had the ball further complicated matters for the Americans, who made a number of errors under pressure.
The quarterfinal will be played at 11:30 on Tuesday.
