Of course other permutations come into play and they could still bag the title by not winning in LA, but captain Siviwe Sonwabile ‘Shakes’ Soyizwapi says they won’t be talking out the calculators just yet.
He explains: “We have to keep our own standards and not worry about our opponents …
“We know what the level is to win tournaments, it is now up to us to make sure we reach that this weekend.”
South Africa will face hosts USA at 6.20pm tomorrow, before tackling Canada at 9.26pm.
They then face New Zealand at 12.59am on Sunday morning in their final Pool B match.
