Fijiana XVs suffers second defeat in WXV3 after 10-8 loss to Spain

The Vodafone Fijiana XVs side fell to their second defeat in the WXV3 competition after losing 8-10 to Spain this morning.

It was a tight contest but the Spanish held their ground in defence to deny Fiji a win.

Fiji drew first blood in the 20th minute after nippy fullback Luisa Tisolo slotted a penalty kick at goal to lead 3-0.

Discipline proved too costly for the Fijiana which Spain capitalised on to score a converted try after Aviame Veidreyaki was yellow-carded.

Spain managed to score 3 points in the 76th minute to extend their lead to 10-3 before Adita Milinia scored an unconverted try at the stroke of full-time for the final score.

In another WXV3 match this morning, the Netherlands defeated Hong Kong China 33-3.
