The Fiji Airways Fijiana side narrowly missed out on a cup semifinal spot after losing to Ireland 14-12 in the quarterfinal of the Perth 7s.

Talei Wilson scored the opening try in the 2nd minute.

Ireland then hit back with two successive tries for a 14-5 lead at the breather.

Vani Buleki added another try in the second spell but the Fijiana missed the conversion to level the scores and force a sudden death.

Ireland now progress to the semifinals and will face Great Britain.

The Fijiana will face Canada in the 7th place playoff at 6:15pm.
