The Fiji Airways Fijana 7s team came from behind to win their second pool game beating USA Ireland 21-12.

Sesenieli Donu scored back-to-back tries to steal the win away from USA.

In the first half, USA had scored first to take the lead before Alowesi Nakoci got a converted try to give Fijiana the lead 10-5 at halftime.

USA started the second half with a quick try and held off The Fijiana with solid defence for most of the second half.

Raijeli Daveua came off the bench midway through the second spell with strong runs at the USA line and set-up Donu's first try in the sixth minute of the second half.

Within a minute of scoring, Donu found herself in space after the kick-off to score her second try as the full-time buzzer sounded. The Fijiana will now take on Great Britain at 12.14 early tomorrow morning with their final pool game against France at 8:29pm tomorrow.
