The Vodafone Fiji 7s team is through to the Dubai 7s final after thumping England 31-12 in the medal semifinals.

England draw first blood with a try from Ruaridh McConnochie.

Fiji hit back with a try to Setareki Bituniyata before England's Dan Norton scored a try to put them again into the lead at 12-7.

Just before half time, Fiji's forwards managed to turn over a scrum that resulted in a well-worked backline try to Samisoni Viriviri.

The two sides were locked 12-all at half time.

Nippy halfback Waisea Nacuqu was on song scoring two tries while Masivesi Dakuwaqa muscled his way through three English defence to score the last try for Fiji.

Fiji will meet South Africa in the cup final after the Blitzboks crushed Wales 36-5 in the second semifinal. 

The final will be played at 4.33am.
