The Fiji Airways Men's National side has thumped Spain 28-7 in their second pool game at the HSBC Singapore 7s.

Iowane Teba opened the scoring for the Fijians proving that after almost a season out he has still got what it takes to put them in the lead 7-0.

Indiscipline did not help Spain as at one point they were playing with 5 men after 2 yellow cards were issued by the referee.

George Bose strolled through for an easy try after receiving an offload from Teba close to the sticks to extend the lead to 14-0.

Josep Serres finally got Spain into the game making it 14-7 to Fiji at half time.

Terio Veilawa extended the buffer to 21-7 with Nacani Boginisoko with the final nail in the coffin scoring his second try in his debut tournament to make it 28-7.

Fiji had won their first pool game 22-19 against Great Britain.

They next face South Africa in their final pool game at 11.46 tonight.

The Men's Cup semi finals are at 6.52pm tomorrow with the Cup final at 11.41pm. 

In other games, France beat New Zealand 19-12, Australia defeated Argentina 19-12, South Africa thumped Spain 21-14, while France thrashed Australia 31-7.
