The Queen Victoria School U18 rugby side survived a comeback from Suva Grammar School to book their place in the Vodafone Super Deans final next Saturday after the game ended in a 14-all draw.
The game was awarded to QVS as according to the FSSRU guidelines, the team that scored first will be given the win if a draw is reached.
QVS led Marist 14-6 at halftime.
The second half was filled with excitement as Grammar made a comeback to score a last minute try at the stroke of fulltime to lock the scores with Grammar’s Semisi Turaganivalu missing the conversion which gave QVS the win.
