We start off with the NZ 7s.
The Digicel Fiji 7s defeated Argentina by 31-0 in their first pool match of the NZ 7s.
Fiji’s first try came from captain, Setefano Cakau 60 seconds into the game as Cakau led by example brushed aside the strong Argentinian defence.
It was also history in the making for Uprising 7s team’s Waisea Nayacalevu who scored a brilliant first try in the IRB 7s.
Osea Kolinisau, Lepani Botia and Jone Tiko also executed superb tries for Fiji.
Fiji led 14-0 at half time.
We will have full details of the game in the next hour.
Meanwhile Digicel Fiji 7s coach, Eddy Waqa said the key is to maintain their consistency in the pool matches.
Waqa said a clean sweep in the Pool matches will give a lot of confidence to the Fiji players tomorrow.
In the other two matches so far, South Africa beat USA 21-nil and England beat Cook Islands 27-12.
