The Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s team is through to the semifinals of the Singapore 7s after beating Series leaders South Africa 19-14 in the second quarterfinal a while ago.

Vuiviawa Naduvalo was once again instrumental as he opened the scoring before Joseva Talacolo scored Fiji’s second try.

Fiji led 12-7 at the break.

Waisea Nacuqu extended Fiji’s lead in the second half to 19-7.

South Africa scored soon after to reduce the margin to 5 points.
