The Fijiana 7s team could not hold on to their two-point lead as they went down to Great Britain 19-22 in the Bronze final in Hong Kong.
The Fiji side had to work hard to come from 10-nil down to score through Meredani Qoro for a 5-10 scoreline at the breather.
Jasmine Joyce and Lisa Thomson scored Great Britain’s first half tries.
Viniana Riwai scored straight into the second half to give Fijians a slender two point lead.
Great Britain fought back as Joyce scored her second try to give her side a 17-12 lead.
