The Fiji Airways Men’s 7s team will play France in the Dubai 7s quarterfinal at 7:32 pm.
This is after they beat New Zealand 21-12 in their final pool match.
It was New Zealand’s second loss after going down to Spain 26-14 in its second game.
Terio Tamani scooped up a New Zealand spilled ball and raced away 70 meters to score.
A poor defensive read from the Fijians saw the Kiwis run in an unconverted try with the Osea Kolinisau coached side leading 7-5 at halftime.
Two tries in the second spell from Fiji were enough to secure a win.
First, it was Pilipo Bukayaro with a classic off-the-scrum base try, however, the Kiwis replied with their second as Fiji led 14-12 with a minute to play.
It was Filipe Sauturaga who put the result beyond reach when he pounced on a New Zealand loose ball to score.
Meanwhile, the Fijiana went down 15-14 to China in its last pool game.
