The Blitzboks concluded a disappointing Singapore Sevens by flopping to a fourth placed finish after going down 14-12 to arch rivals New Zealand in the third-fourth playoff on Sunday.
After an encouraging start to the tournament saw them win their opening two matches, the Blitzboks went on to lose their next three for a poor finish.
They do however have a chance of bouncing back well, with them heading Down Under for the Perth Sevens in Australia this coming weekend, where they will hope to produce a better showing.
