The Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s team have been bundled out of the cup competition in Singapore after they were outclassed 19-10 by a solid New Zealand side.

Indiscipline from Waisea Nacuqu resulted in him being sin binned in the 3rd minute of play.

NZ capitalized and scored through Moses Leo and Regan Ware.

Joseva Talacolo scored the two unconverted tries for Fiji.

Argentina beat Samoa 24-19 in the first semi final.

Fiji will now face Pacific rivals Samoa in the bronze final at 10:58 tonight, while NZ will play Argentina in the cup final at 11:28 tonight.
