It was a one sided affair as Fiji dominated the game and scored a total of seven tries and conceded just one.

Hard hitting tackles, timely offloads and some quality work at the ruck gave Fiji a lot of possession.

Vilimoni Botitu and Aminiasi Tuimaba scored two tries each while Jerry Tuwai, Asaeli Tuivuaka and Livai Ikanikoda scored a try each.

Fiji led 19-7 at half-time.

Captain, Meli Derenalagi was yellow carded in the first half for challenging a player in mid-air.
