Napolioni Bolaca and Semi Kunatani were ruthless in the second half against USA and injected much needed fire power to help Fiji get the 19-17 win in the cup quarters of the Toulouse 7s.
Fiji was down 12-0 at half-time and Bolaca and Kunatani were introduced in the second spell.
Bolaca was clinical in defence where he made a try saving tackle in the final minute of the game while Kunatani was instrumental in winning breakdown battles.
Our top rugby commentator, Antonio Rahiman says coach Ben Gollings is sending impact players at the right time.
