Fijiana faced a tough challenge in their second pool match at the HSBC Cape Town 7s, losing to Great Britain with a score of 22-5. Despite showing promise, Fiji’s inexperience became a factor as they were unable to capitalize on several opportunities in the first half.
The match remained competitive, with Fijiana trailing 10-5 at halftime. Great Britain’s Reneeqa Bonner and Grace Crompton each scored tries, while Fiji responded with a try from Lavenia Cavuru, keeping the score close.
The second half saw Great Britain extend their lead with a try from Emma Uren Ab just a minute in, although Abbie Brown struggled with her conversions. Crompton’s second try, scored less than a minute before the final whistle, solidified Great Britain’s victory, and Eloise Hayward made a successful conversion to conclude the match.
Despite the defeat, Fijiana can take away valuable lessons from this experience. The team’s resilience in challenging moments and their ability to score against a strong opponent indicates potential for growth and development in future matches. With continued determination and experience, Fijiana can improve their performance in the upcoming games.
