Fiji 7s coach Gareth Baber reminded the players at half time to keep pressuring the Blitzboks.

“Now we keep the pressure. Squeeze them to get everything they can out of it. We going to win the ball after kick off and keep the ball and keep the pace up, go straight back and that’s what is killing them.”

The Fijian side did not end there as they kept attacking and gave way for Waisea Nacuqu to add their fourth try.

Fiji put on a stunning defensive line which denied the Blitzboks any chance of scoring a try.
