There was also a major concern for the team as star player Jerry Tuwai limped off injured in the first half.
Tuwai whose leg was heavily strapped, made a break early in the first half but he started limping before off-loading to Paula Dranisinukula who scored the first try.
Meli Derenalagi and Sevuloni Mocenacagi scored two more tries in the first half as Fiji led 19-7 at half time.
Fiji ran riot in the second half as they scored five more tries through Aminiasi Tuimaba, Apenisa Cakaubalavu and Josua Vakurinabili.
Fiji will take on Scotland tonight at 8.02 and face South Africa at 11.28pm.
The Cup quarters will start at 3.30pm tomorrow, the Cup semifinals kick off at 7.50pm tomorrow and the Cup final will start at 11 pm.
