The Fiji 7s team thrashed Spain 31-0 to book a spot in the Singapore 7s Cup quarter-final.
The Ben Gollings coached side re-grouped from their loss against Samoa to bounce back and ensure they earn a quarter-final berth.
Terio Tamani scored a double while Sevuloni Mocenacagi, Manueli Maisamia and Iowane Teba got a try each.
Gollings says their loss to Samoa was disappointing but they managed to end their pool games on a high.
Fiji will face France at 5:02pm today.
“The disappointing one was Samoa, if we had played like we did in that last game with the control of possession that we had, I believe we would have beaten Samoa. For some reason we tried to speed everything up and I think we got caught up in their style of play. The good thing is we quickly learnt from that and the team bounced back.”
After a mouthwatering opening day of #Singapore7s rugby, we’re tied at the top of the @DHLRugby #ImpactPlayer standings
