Vuiviawa Naduvalo continues to shine for the Fiji Airways Men's National 7s team as he scored a try to help beat Australia 19-12 in the cup semi final at the Singapore 7s.

Naduvalo's try in the second half takes his total to 8 tries in the tournament making him the highest try scorer.

Joseva Talacolo was impressive at winning the ball back from the restarts and showed a lot of pace as he ran half the length of the field to score Fiji's first try.

Experienced Australian reps Nick Malouf and Henry Hutchinson got a try each to lock the game at 12-all with 3 minutes remaining on the clock.

Army Captain, Elia Canakaivata who came on in the second half, looked dangerous with his strong direct running everytime he got the ball and scored the third try to secure the win for Fiji.

In the second semi final, New Zealand beat Ireland 22-19.

The final will be played at 11.28pm tonight.
