The Fiji Airways 7s side has booked a place in the Cup quarter-finals of the Hong Kong tournament.
This after they defeated Australia 31-12 in their second pool match.
Aminiasi Tuimaba scored a double and a try from Jerry Tuwai put them into the lead 17-5 at the breather.
A try from Tuwai and Filimoni Botitu in the second spell sealed the much-needed win.
