Vuiviawa Naduvalo and Joseva Talacolo set the pace for the Fijians to lock things up 14-14 at half time.

Naduvalo was not done as he he jinked his way through the New Zealand defence to extend their lead in the 10th minute to 21-14.

The New Zealand outfit almost locked things up with a try to nippy halfback Kele Lasaqa but he got penalised instead for playing the ball on the ground.
