The Fiji Airways Fijiana 7s team qualified for the cup final of the second leg of the Dubai 7s after beating France 17-12 in their last pool match.

Alowesi Nakoci scored two tries in each half with Reapi Ulunisau also getting a try in the second half.

Nakoci continues her fine form as she has scored a try in every game of the second Dubai 7s and remains the third-highest try scorer for this season.

France came close to stealing the game with a minute remaining on the clock but could not penetrate the Fijiana defence.

Fijiana will meet Australia in the women's cup final at 2:56am tomorrow.

In another game, Australia Beat Russia 26-17 and USA beat Great Britain 40-17.
