Flying Fijians wins first ever PNC title
The Flying Fijians came back from an 11-0 down to win their first ever Pacific Nations Cup tittle in style after beating Tonga 34-21.

Napolioni Nalaga scored two tries while Sireli Bobo and Nemani Nadolo scored a try each.

Bobo showed age is nothing when he blistered past the Tongan full back to score from a set piece move before Nalaga touched down for his first try which were both converted by Seremaia Bai.

The national side conceded eight penalties in the first half and they lost four of their own throws in the line outs as they went into the half time break locked at 14-all.

In the second half Fiji showed some improvement in their discipline before Nemani Nadolo scored Fiji's third try after some great running rugby which involved Apisai Naikatini, Sireli Bobo, Malakai Ravulo and Tuapati Talemaitoga.

Nalaga scored his second try after being set up by Bai to put the game beyond doubt.

Fiji's scrimmaging looked solid while the tight five were involved a lot in the game as well.

Flying Fijians Captain Akapusi Qera said the win comes at a great time.
