Fiji did what they do best against England with a 80-metre try in the Cup semi-final of the Singapore leg of the World Sevens Series.
Scored by Josua Vakurunabili, the Fijians produced a lovely free flowing play from a quick lineout virtually on their own try line that saw casual offloads and incredible athleticism.
England’s defence was left scrambling to recover but ultimately failed to break down the Fiji attack and Vakurunabili went on to score a double, helping them to a 26-12 win.
