The Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s team have lost their second pool match against a physical Samoan side 28-7.

Samoa scored a total of 4 tries while Iowane Teba scored Fiji’s only try of the match.

In earlier matches, Great Britain beat Ireland 14-7, New Zealand edged Australia 24-12, USA beat Kenya 21-19 and Canada beat Spain 21-7.
