The Osea Kolinisau coached Fiji Airways 7s side is in danger of missing out on a place in the Cup quarter-final at the Singapore tournament.
The side has been beaten by Great Britain, 19-14 after also losing 33-14 to USA.
Fiji needs a win against Ireland tomorrow to stand a chance of qualifying.
However, against GB, there were eye brows raised late in the match as the referee called a knock on late in the match just Fiji had a chance to level scores.
Replays did not conclusively show a knock on.
However, in the match, Fiji had itself to blame for many facets that did not go its way.
Support play at its best 😍
