The Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s team has lost to USA 24-7 in the quarterfinals of the Sydney 7s.
USA dominated throughout the match as they starved Fiji of possession and forcing the national side into committing errors.
Discipline had cost Fiji the game as they were penalized several times with high tackles.
Try-saving defence straight out of the sevens textbook! 📚
