The Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s team scored 5 tries in their second pool game as they beat Spain 29-19 at the London 7s.
In a slow first half, Fiji had scored 2 tries through Elia Canakaivata and Waisea Nacuqu.
Nacuqu’s try increases his tally to 2 tries and 16 points at the Londond 7s.
Vuiviawa Naduvalo, Pilipo Bukayaro and Manueli Maisamoa got tries for Fiji in the second half.
Despite the win, Fiji looked casual at times as Spain fought back to score three tries.
Sumptuous pass from Napolioni Bolaca! 👏
