The Flying Fijians remain in second place in the IRB Pacific Nations Cup points table on 6 points behind New Zealand Maori in first place on 8 points.

The Maori managed a grueling 11-7 win over Fiji with both sides scoring a try each but the visitors also kicked two penalties.

Fiji will now need to re-focus and prepare for their first away match against Japan in Tokyo on Saturday, June 22.
