The Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s side will face South Africa in the final of the HSBC SVNS Perth 7s at 9.04 tonight.

The Fijians demolished New Zealand 35-0 in the first semi-final, while South Africa defeated Australia 28-12 in the second semi-final.

Vuiviawa Naduvalo continued his impressive form, scoring a hat-trick to help Fiji book a spot in the final.

Fiji took control early, dominating the first half and leaving New Zealand scoreless at 14-0 by the break.

They continued their dominance in the second half, unleashing relentless pressure through high-intensity attack and solid defence.

New Zealand struggled to contain the pace and physicality as Fiji stormed through to book their place in the Cup Final.

Meanwhile, the Fijiana 7s will take on Great Britain in the 7th-place playoff at 5.51pm today.

New Zealand will face Australia in the women’s final at 8.38pm tonight.
