Rugby World Cup Sevens 2018: Fiji maul Argentina to reach semi-finals in San Francisco; New Zealand win women’s title
Another huge win has Gareth Baber’s side primed for the final day at AT&T Park, where they will meet the All Blacks Sevens
The Fiji train rolled on at the Rugby World Cup Sevens in San Francisco on Sunday, with the Olympic champions running in seven tries in a 43-7 quarter-final mauling of Argentina.
Semi Radradra showed his class to send Kalione Nasoko over to open the scoring in the second minute and when Paula Dranisinukula scored from the restart, it was clear the match was only heading one way.
A fifth-minute Josua Tuisova try saw the islanders take a 19-0 lead into the break. Argentina drew first blood in the second half through Franco Sabato, before normal service resumed with a try to Fiji’s Amenoni Nasilasila.
Further tries to Alosio Naduva, Leone Nakarawa and a second to Nasilasila completed the rout.
Fiji take on New Zealand in the semi-finals on Monday morning (Hong Kong time) and for Nakarawa, the one-sided nature of his side’s opening two wins counts for nothing come the final day.
