Jerry Tuwai scored the first try for Fiji against South Africa
The national Men’s 7s side went down to South Africa 26-14 in their second pool match of the Cape Town 7s.
Fiji drew first blood through Jerry Tuwai straight after Seabelo Senatla was sent off for a repeated infringement.
South Africa conceded successive penalties and as a result, Vilimoni Botitu was put through a gap by World Rugby Rookie of the year Meli Derenalagi.
