The Digicel Fiji Sevens Team is tied at third place with New Zealand on 16 points after they bowed out to Samoa 24-21 in the semifinal stage at the Dubai Sevens Tournament that ended this morning.

England leads the points table with 24 points while Samoa sits on 20 points in second place.

Team manager Sale Sorovaki said the boys will watch their games in Dubai again tomorrow, before they fly out to South Africa for the next tournament next week.

He said this will give them time to ponder on the areas they will have to improve in before the second leg of the IRB Series kicks off.

In the final, England came from behind to beat Samoa 29-21.

Looking at the other results, South Africa beat Australia 19-12 to win the Plate, Argentina beat Zimbabwe 21-0 in the Bowl final and Kenya thumped France 26-nil to take home the Shield.

The South Africa Sevens next weekend will see Fiji in Pool B with Samoa, Namibia and USA.
