The Team Fiji men’s 7s side put up a master-class performance to wallop Kiribati 76-0 in the 2023 Pacific Games this afternoon.

The Sireli Bobo-coached side flexed their muscles early, scoring six tries in the first spell for a 38-0 lead at the breather.

The stadium crowd then witnessed some sublime skills as Fiji overpowered their Micronesian opponents with silky offloads and deft sidesteps to score six more tries.
