A gutsy Telecom Fijiana side lost to New Zealand 26-0 in the semifinals of the women's world 7s series.

Fiji gave their all as they tried to rattle the New Zealanders but the experience of the Kiwis proved to be the difference.

The Fijiana earlier defeated Russia in the cup quarterfinals 12-7 and yesterday they upset England 15-12 in the pool games.

Fiji will play either Australia or Canada in the third and fourth place playoffs.
