The Fiji Airways National 7s team are through to the finals of the Singapore 7s at 11.42 tonight where they will play France.

This is after they beat New Zealand 21-14 in the first semi final while South Africa went down 12-5 to France

Vuiviawa Naduvalo and Joseva Talacolo set the pace for the Fijians to lock things up 14-14 at half time.

Naduvalo was not done as he he jinked his way through the New Zealand defence to extend their lead in the 10th minute to 21-14.

The New Zealand outfit almost locked things up with a try to nippy halfback Kele Lasaqa but he got penalised instead for playing the ball on the ground.

Fiji beat Great Britain 22-19 in their first pool game, they then thumped Spain 28-7 before defeating South Africa 24-19 in their last pool game.
