The Fiji Airways Men's National 7s team will play New Zealand in the Cup semi final at 10.28 tonight after going down 24-19 to France in their final pool match this morning.

Fiji's tries came from Joseva Talacolo, skipper Jeremaia Matana, and Apete Narogo playing in his debut tournament with conversions from Waisea Nacuqu and Sakiusa Siqila.
France led 12-7 at the break.

The Men's Cup semifinals will begin at 10.06 tonight where Australia will face France, while Fiji plays New Zealand at 10.28 tonight with the final set for 4.11am tomorrow.
