The Fiji Airways men’s 7s team has qualified for the Singapore 7s semifinal after thrashing New Zealand 36-5 in their last pool match.
Fiji captain Sevuloni Mocenacagi led by example after scoring in the second minute with their brilliant support play.
NZ bounced back immediately through Cody Vai to narrow the scores 7-5.
Mocenacagi was in the picture again when he assisted in Fiji’s second try two minutes later with Joseva Talecolo increasing their lead to 12-5.
Fiji showcased great play of sevens rugby when Joji Nasova broke through for their third try for a 17-5 lead at half time.
Nasova got his second minutes into the second half while Filipe Sauturaga and Rauto Vakadranu got into the scoresheet to give Fiji a 36-5 win.
