It was tit-for-tat rugby in the second spell as they piled on tries one after the other.

Great Britain could have had the last say with speedster Jasmine Joyce racing through but Uluinasau with desperation, put her body on the line to save them from defeat.

Fijiana’s tries were scored by Younis Bese, Adi Vani Buleki and Raijieli Daveua.

The Fijiana will face USA at 1:48 tomorrow morning in the Cup quarter-final.
