Wener Kok makes a break for South Africa against the USA during day one of the World Sevens Series event in Cape Town.
South Africa have brought their rich vain of form that saw them win last week's World Series event in Dubai to Cape Town as they went through day one of their home event unbeaten.
The Blitzboks started Saturday with a comfortable 41-0 win over Russia, before brushing aside a spirited USA side 28-10.
The crowd favourites then made little work of Australia 29-7 to top Pool A and set up a date with Wales in the quarter finals on Sunday.
The surprise package of the tournament has been Scotland who made the most of a favourable draw to qualify top of Pool D after close fought wins over Wales and Samoa as well as a 38-5 thrashing of minnows Uganda.
Olympic champions Fiji looked in ominous form and finished Saturday with three wins from as many games, seeing off Japan, Kenya and France.
New Zealand had a rollercoaster day to claim top spot in Pool C. After a 26-12 win over Argentina, they gave up a 14-0 lead to draw with Canada 19-19. But a big 33-7 win over England was enough to see them through to the quarters at the expense of the Pumas.
Quarter Finals: South Africa vs. Wales, Fiji vs. England, Scotland vs. USA, New Zealand vs. Kenya.
