Queen Victoria School will take on Suva Grammar School in the U14 Vodafone Super Deans final after fighting off a determined Lelean Memorial School side 17-13.

Reserve hooker Lachlan Nawaqatabu has put his QVS side through to the final after scoring in the dying minutes.

Lelean led through most of the first half after scoring a try and a converted penalty.

QVS struck through prop Kaliova Kalou just before half-time.

Lelean led 8-5 at half-time.

Daniel Tuiloma, with some amazing footwork, was able to sidestep through the Lelean defence to put his QVS side in front for the first time at 12-8.

Lelean centre, Eliki Ratini put the Davuilevu boys in front after a set-piece play, but unfortunately, they couldn't convert the kick.

Nawaqatabu had the last say as he scored the last try and put the boys from Matavutucou through to the finals.
