South Africa recorded their worst World Series result of the season – and their worst display since Glasgow in 2014 – by finishing joint-seventh with Australia.
That leaves them in fifth behind England who have 68 points while the USA are surging ahead in the title race on 98 points after winning in Vegas.
It was the US’s fifth straight final of the season‚ but their first win of the campaign as they thrashed Samoa 27-0 in front of a boisterous home crowd at the Sam Boyd Stadium. Earlier the USA beat New Zealand 24-19 in the semi-finals to set them on the way to retaining their Las Vegas title.
