Fijiana 7s Stumble in Perth: Heartbreak Continues with Third Straight Loss

The Fiji Airways Fijiana 7s team has faced ongoing challenges at the HSBC Perth 7s, extending their losing streak with a 27-14 defeat against Great Britain in their third pool match this afternoon. Despite a spirited late surge to close the gap, the Fijiana side fell short as Great Britain maintained their dominance, showcasing relentless attacking power.

The match saw Great Britain score consistently, keeping Fijiana on the back foot and limiting their chances to stage a significant comeback. Earlier in the tournament, the Fijiana team narrowly lost to the USA, 21-19, and suffered a close 14-12 defeat against Canada, highlighting a string of missed opportunities in closely contested games.

Now left to contend for lower rankings, Fijiana will prepare to compete in the 9th place semi-final later tonight. While results have been disappointing, the team remains determined to find redemption and end the tournament on a positive note.
