In Cape Town, Shujaa will start their campaign with a clash against Samoa at 5.59 pm on Friday December 13 before playing two matches on Saturday December 14 starting with Australia at 11.57 am before facing Ireland at 5.47 pm (EAT).

They are currently at number 13 in the overall HSBC standings after collecting four points in Dubai over the weekend.

Hosts and recently crowned Dubai champions South Africa are in Pool A  with USA, Fiji and Japan while Pool B features New Zealand, Argentina, Canada and Wales as England, France, Spain and Scotland set up Pool C.
