A pall descended over Cape Town Stadium as the Blitzboks crashed out of the World Cup Sevens on Saturday night.
The biggest cheer of the day came when Nadine Roos scythed through a gap to score the SA women’s team’s opening try in their 27-0 win over Colombia.
On Friday they lost to France and Saturday morning they were their own worst enemies against Japan, who held out for a 14-12 win.Against Colombia they never looked like fluffing their lines.Roos had the crowd in raptures by the time she scored her third try in the second half and there was near nirvana on the stands when she ran in her fourth.
As has become custom, many in the crowd arrived in costume. Policemen, medics, pirates, an oversupply of pilots were in attendance and, at times, it seemed rugby players, though they were actually on the playing surface.
