The Fiji Airways men’s 7s team has kicked off their Singapore 7s campaign in stellar fashion, earning a resounding 38-0 victory over the United States. This commanding performance highlighted Fiji’s attacking proficiency and unyielding defense, leaving no room for the USA to respond.
Joseva Talacolo initiated the scoring with a sharp try, deftly navigating through the USA’s defense. Following shortly, George Bose extended Fiji’s lead with another try, although both conversion attempts by Iowane Teba were unsuccessful at that point. Teba, however, redeemed himself with a well-executed try just before halftime, successfully converting it to push the score to 19-0. Tira Welagi added another try moments later, with Filipe Sauturaga completing the conversion to bring the halftime score to 24-0 in favor of Fiji.
Fiji maintained their momentum into the second half, with Joji Nasova scoring the opening try after the break and converting his own effort, further solidifying Fiji’s dominance. Viwa Naduvalo capped off the resounding win with the sixth try, which was converted by Sakiusa Siqila.
The result not only emphasizes Fiji’s clinical attacking play but also underscores their defensive capabilities, showcasing their readiness as they face New Zealand next at 12:22 PM. This match sets the stage for what promises to be an exciting contest, as Fiji aims to sustain their momentum and continue their strong showing in the tournament.
Drawing from their previous performances, including earlier victories in the HSBC series, fans remain optimistic about Fiji’s prospects. The team’s ability to perform under pressure is a testament to their resilience and skill, suggesting a bright path ahead in their rugby sevens journey. With each match, Fiji’s potential resonates profoundly among supporters and bodes well for their advancement in the competition.
