The Vodafone Fiji 7s has qualified for the quarterfinals of the Las Vegas 7s after winning their second pool match defeating Scotland 24-12.
Despite the win, the national side was penalized with two yellow cards which saw Kalione Nasoko and Joeli Lutumailagi being sent off to the bin.
Fiji’s tries came from Lutumailagi, Vatemo Ravouvou, Mesulame Kunavula and Jerry Tuwai.
They were leading 10-5 at half time.
Coach Gareth Baber believes day one has been tough but a lot has to be improved for the rest of their games.
DHL ambassador Rob Vickerman says Vatemo Ravouvou is currently leading the DHL Performance Tracker while Apisai Domolailai and Lutumailagi are also amongst the top seven players on the Performance Tracker.
