The Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s team has beaten South Africa 26-24 to go through to the final of the Hong Kong 7s.
It was a mouth-watering clash as the young South African side gave everything to take the game to the last minute.
Fiji was trailing South Africa 19-5 at halftime but with the super sub of Amenoni Nasilasila gave Fiji the much-needed boost.
Nasilasila came in at halftime and scored tries to seal the victory for Fiji.

The other tries was scored by Kalione Nasoko and Samisoni Viriviri.
Meanwhile, South Africa’s playmaker Selvyn Davids scored a hat-trick in the first half while Muller du Plessis scored their fourth try.
Fiji will not await the winner of Kenya and New Zealand to play in the final at 11pm.
Jerry Tuwai and Amenoni Nasilasila are just a nightmare to defend against.
