2024 Africa Men’s Sevens Tournament: Last week’s Winner Uganda Again in Final Match With Opponent South Africa

The final kick-off is at 16:32 (Local Mauritius Time), preceded by the Bronze Medal match between the two semifinal losers Madagascar and Zimbabwe (15:53).

• In the first semifinal, South Africa were quick out of the blocks and used their pacy backs to stretch the ball wide – and it paid off handsomely.

They crossed the Madagascar tryline three times in the first half and with Ricky Duartte’s one conversion led 17-0 at halftime. They repeated their first-half hat-trick of tries and took the score to 36 with Madagascar managing only two tries, both in the second half, when the match was already beyond winning.

• In the other semifinal, last week’s winner in the first leg of the two tournaments Uganda dispatched Zimbabwe 36-14.
• The final should be an interesting affair, with Uganda’s confidence and good organization on the field certain to test the South Africans, who perhaps had it a little too easy against Madagascar.
