New Zealand delivered a commanding performance against the Fiji Airways Fijiana 7s, winning decisively with a score of 36-5 at the Perth 7s tournament. This match marked a challenging moment for the Fijiana, representing their second consecutive loss at the event, having previously been defeated by the USA.
Throughout the match, the Fijiana struggled to find their rhythm, failing to make a significant impact for over 13 minutes. Their defensive lapses were exploited by New Zealand, the top team known for its strong defensive gameplay this season. It wasn’t until the dying moments of the game that Fijiana’s captain, Verenaisi Ditavutu, managed to break free, scoring their sole try between the posts.
With their final pool match against Japan set for 8:52 pm, the Fijiana will be eager to regroup and demonstrate their potential in the upcoming game. Fans can catch all the action live on FBC TV, hoping for a turnaround in their fortunes at this prestigious tournament.
