Fiji thrashes Canada and will meet South Africa in QF

The Vodafone Fiji 7s team thrashed Canada 31-14 in their last pool match of the England 7s and has booked a thrilling quarterfinal clash against South Africa.

A win for Fiji will guarantee them a second World Series title in 16 years and first since 2006.

This will be the series decider as South Africa lost 21-12 to USA in their pool match.

Fiji looked strong against Canada as they played their natural game and with a lot of confidence.

Playmaker, Eminoni Nasilasila stepped up to show his skills and confidence as he was involved in setting up all of Fiji’s tries.

Josaia Wini and Nasilasila scored a double each while Samisoni Viriviri scored through some individual brilliance after shrugging off the Canadian defence from Fiji’s 22 metre line.

Fiji defeated Argentina 24-19 and beat Samoa 26-12 in its two other pool matches.

Coach, Ben Ryan was pleased with the outcome.

He says the mission now is to beat South Africa tonight.

Ryan adds they are in control of their own destiny and will treat the quarterfinal game as the final.

Fiji will meet South Africa at 9.28 tonight.

In the other Cup quarterfinals, Scotland will play Australia at 9.50pm, USA will take on Canada at 10.12pm while New Zealand will face England at 10.34pm.

The Cup semis are at 1.18am tomorrow while the Cup final is at 4.27am tomorrow.

Looking at the last round of pool matches this morning, Scotland beat England 22-19, New Zealand defeated Australia 24-10, Wales beat Japan 24-21 and Kenya defeated Brazil 19-14.

Meanwhile, England’s safe passage through to the last eight ensured they will finish fourth in the series and guaranteed team qualification to the Olympic Games next year alongside hosts Brazil, South Africa, Fiji and New Zealand.
