THE Iliesa Tanivula-coached Fijiana side fought their way through the Russian defence to win the 5th spot in the USA leg of the World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series at Sam Boyd Stadium minutes ago.
Two tries by Lavenia Tinai and one by Merewai Cumu placed the girls ahead of
their opponent by the second half.
The Ana Maria Roqica-coached side kept the Russians at bay until their last
minute try.
Fiji led 12-5 at half time but maintained its defence to win 19-17 at full
time.
Fiji earlier lost 7-22 to Australia in the cup quarter-final but bounced
back to beat France 15-12 in the fifth place semi-final.
