SYDNEY - The Blitzboks produced a stirring second-half fightback to claim their first title in Australia since 2017, edging Fiji 21 - 19 in the Perth SVNS final on Sunday morning.
Despite leading 14 - 12 at halftime, South Africa briefly found themselves five points behind after the break due to some defensive lapses.
They responded, however, with strong attacking play and desperate defence to seal the win and avenge their pool-stage loss to the Fijians earlier in the weekend.
