The Vodafone Fiji 7s team has moved to the top of the HSBC Sevens World Series standings after booking their place in the Scotland 7s Cup final and will face defending champions New Zealand.
A try from vice captain Isake Katonibau and two tries from Semi Kunatani were enough for them to beat a fast paced USA side, having earlier defeating South Africa 15‑0.
Kunatani and Savenaca Rawaca scored tries in that win, a result which meant the Blitzboks failed to make a Cup semi final for the first time all season.
In the second semi finals, Rieko Ioane scored the only try in New Zealand’s 5‑0 win over England, the lowest scoring semi‑final for 13 years in wet conditions in Glasgow.
The result also meant New Zealand qualified for the Olympic Games in Rio, joining South Africa and Fiji who achieved the same yesterday.
They will meet New Zealand in the Cup Finals at 5.50am.
If Fiji wins the Cup Final, they will earn 22 points which will put them in the lead with 147 points and if South Africa wins the Plate Final they will have 142 points at second place.
