Fijiana faced a challenging match in their second pool game at the HSBC Cape Town 7s, succumbing to Great Britain with a score of 22-5. The team struggled to capitalize on several first-half opportunities, which proved to be a key factor in their defeat.
At halftime, Fijiana was trailing narrowly at 10-5, keeping the competition fierce. Notably, team member Lavenia Cavuru scored a try, providing some hope for Fiji as they stayed within reach. However, Great Britain quickly gained momentum, with Emma Uren Ab scoring shortly after the break, despite a missed conversion attempt by Abbie Brown.
The final blow came when Grace Crompton added a second try for Great Britain, further extending their lead just before the final whistle, which was converted successfully by Eloise Hayward.
While Fijiana may be disappointed with the outcome, their ability to remain competitive against a strong team highlights their potential for growth. As they continue in the tournament, further experience could lead to improved performances in future matches. It’s important to recognize that every challenge presents an opportunity for development, and with the right mindset, Fijiana can take this experience on board to build toward a stronger showing ahead.
