Fiji sevens

The Fijians finished fourth in the opening round in Dubai and fifth a week later in Cape Town.

On both occasions their Cup run was ended by South Africa, (12-7) in the semi and (31-26) quarter finals respectively.

"We had a bad loss against Canada in the pool stages in Cape Town which took a bit of a shine off the week but generally we've moved in the right direction," reflected Gareth Baber.

New Zealand bounced back from their narrow 12-10 loss to Argentina in their final pool game on Sunday to run in three tries against England in Las Vegas.

Captain DJ Forbes scored the opening try before fellow veteran Tim Mikkelson ran in a brace.
