Lack of urgency nearly cost the Digicel Fiji 7s team their second game against Spain in the Hong Kong 7s but they managed to win by 22-12.
Fiji was penalized three times for indiscipline, as a result Osea Kolinisau copped his second yellow card of the tournament for diving on a Spanish player after he had scored a try.
Samisoni Viriviri, Ilai Tinai, Ulaiasi Lawavou and Jasa Veremalua scored for Fiji.
Speaking to Fijivillage from Hong Kong stadium, national team trainer Tomasi Cama Senior said poor communication let them down.
Meanwhile, former Flying Fijian, former national 7s player and former All Blacks 7s rep Aisea Tuilevu said the players can’t repeat that performance against Canada.
Fiji will play Canada at 10:54 tonight.
Barring any upset, Fiji is expected to play either South Africa, Argentina, Wales or Australia in the Cup quarters while we may face Samoa, England, New Zealand or Kenya in the semis.
The Cup quarterfinals starts 3.48pm tomorrow, Cup semis kicks off at 8.06pm and the Cup final will be played at 11pm.
