The Fiji Airways Fiji Men’s 7s team finished in 3rd place in the second leg of the HSBC 7s Series in Cape Town.

Fiji followed up their Dubai title with a third place in Cape Town as they proved too strong for opponents Spain for the second weekend in a row, claiming third with a convincing seven-try 47-10 win.

Spain’s Jeremy Trevithick opened the scoring with the first of his two tries in the match.

But Fiji hit back with three – through Joji Nasova, Filipe Sauturaga, Jeremaia Matana – before he could get his second at the end of the opening period.

George Bose jogged over for Fiji’s fourth early in the second. Terio Veilawa ripped through Spain’s defence for their fifth, and Kavekini Tanivanuakula dived in for their sixth, before Viwa Naduvalo had the last word after the hooter.

Despiet the 3rd place finish, Fiji 7s team still leads the series standings with 36 points.

Spain is in 2nd place, four points behind Fiji while France lies in third place with 30 points.
