The Fiji Airways Men’s 7s side was outclassed by a clinical South African side, as they were beaten 17-7 in their second pool encounter at the Cape Town 7s.
Forward Joseva Talacolo scored first for Fiji in the 2nd minute, however, speed and footwork from South Africa saw Shilton van Wyk and Muller du Plessis score to put them in a 12-7 lead at halftime.
Handling errors and poor support play resulted in Fiji failing to capitalize on opportunities.
