Fiji found the try line first in the second half when Vika Nakacia crossed over to take lead for the first time in the match but Brazil’s Thalita Da Silva Costa levelled to 17-all and Raquel Kochhann managed to convert for a 19-17 lead just before the final whistle.
It was Ana Maria Naimasi’s last minute try that gave Fiji a 22-19 win.
