The Fiji Airways Men’s 7s side has won their second pool game, defeating Ireland 26-21 at the Madrid 7s.
Fiji opened the account through Joji Nasova, who sprinted and dived on the corner for a 7-0 lead two minutes in the game before our two-time Olympian, Jerry Tuwai dotted their second.
Ireland managed to score a try through Chay Mullins to narrow the deficit 14-7 at halftime.
Ireland came back stronger in the second half as they scored their second through Hugo Lenox before Viwa Naduvalo extended Fiji’s lead 21-14.
Spectacular end-to-end Fijian flair

Just when Fiji thought they would win, Ireland’s Jordon Conroy scored to level the scores at 21-all at full time.
Fiji, however, emerged victorious as they scored first in the extra time to defeat Ireland 26-21.
