Fijiana faced their second consecutive defeat at the HSBC Dubai 7s, falling to Australia with a score of 42-7. The Fijiana team struggled to match the level of play demonstrated by the Australian side, who exhibited superior control throughout the match.
Vika Nakacia scored Fiji’s sole try in the first half, marking her second try of the tournament, with Ana Maria Naimasi successfully converting it. In contrast, Australia showcased their strength with a total of six tries, including an impressive four tries from Madison Levi, who was named the World Rugby Women’s Sevens Player of the Year. Additional tries came from Demi Hayes and Teagan Levi in the second half, with Tea Hinds and Ruby Nichols contributing two conversions each.
Fijiana will have an opportunity to bounce back as they prepare to face China 7s in their final pool game early tomorrow morning.
Despite the loss, Fijiana has demonstrated resilience and the ability to score, which can serve as a foundation for future performances. With the right adjustments and a positive mindset, they can look to turn their fortunes around in the upcoming match.
