Sikeli Vuruna kicked off his rugby career for Fiji in style after scoring two brilliant tries on debut last night in their 39-5 win over Scotland.
The naval officer was sound in defense and looked promising on attack as he blistered down the side line for his second try.
Fiji scored 7 tries with Joeli Lutumailagi, Waisea Nayacalevu, Nikola Matawalu, Joji Ragamate and Nemani Nagusa scoring a try each while Vuruna grabbed a brace of tries.
Fiji's most successful Rugby World Cup 15s coach and former Wallaby, Ilivasi Tabua said the penalty count was too much for Fiji.
Fiji will play France at 5:32pm and will meet Australia in their final pool game at 10:42 tonight.
Meanwhile in other results Samoa overcame Kenya 19-7, New Zealand beat USA 29-5, Tonga thrashed China 39-12, Canada defeated Philippines 35-5 and Russia beat Japan 14-7.
