Fiji has beaten South Africa 28-7 in the HSBC Los Angeles 7s quarter final, and will now meet Argentina in the first semi final at 10.14am today.

Teba scored again from a scrum set-piece to dot down under the sticks which was converted to extend Fiji’s lead to 14-0 at half-time.

Jerry Tuwai scored to extend the lead to 21-0.

Ryan Oosthuizen of South Africa was sin-binned due to a high tackle.

Josua Vakurinabili then capitalised and crossed over to take it up to 28-0.

Ricardo Duarttee finally got one back for South Africa but it was too little too late.

In other results, Argentina beat Samoa 19-12, New Zealand beat Great Britain 24-12 while Australia beat Ireland 31-7.
