The Twickenham Stoop will host the Fiji Army and French Army match in the International Defence Rugby semifinals.

Fiji thrashed Australia 62-8 in the quarter finals yesterday while the British Army thrashed South Africa 54-17.

Fiji are playing committed and determined rugby with pace throughout the side and scramble defence was always on hand to retrieve the situation.

Wingers Sevuloni Lutu and Levani Kurumudu was impressive while big power runners including Daveta Koroitakali, Manoa Tamaya, Ameniasi Nava and captain Jolame Bera continued their form to drown Australia.

They were leading 29-3 at half time.

Fiji Army’s try came from Levani Kurimudu, Isireli Ledua, Manoa Tamaya, Jaoji Dakovulia while Sevuloni Lutu scored a hat-trick.

They will now meet France in the semifinal at 4am this Saturday while the British Army will take on New Zealand at 7.30am in the second semis.
