Reapi Ulunisau's double could not help the Fiji Airways Fijiana side as they went down 17-14 to France in the 5th place play off at the Singapore 7s.

Alycia Christiaens was on fire with her two tries with Lou Noel adding the extra.

France led 12-7 at half time.

In their other games, the Fijiana lost 35-7 to Australia, they were also beaten 17-12 by the USA before finally winning 34-12 in their last pool game against Japan.

Richie Walker's side will have to regroup and get ready for the Perth 7s next weekend if they want to place higher.
