Vakatawa set up two tries with his outstanding offloads and power.

Meanwhile the Fijian side were pressured early in the first half and were not able to capitalize on some opportunities they had.

Fiji's tries was scored by Savenaca Rawaca and Jasa Veremalua while Isake Katonibau failed to score his try after a pressure defence from a French player.
