Fiji Residents

Fiji scored the first try of the match in the fourth minute through Penioni Tagitumua to give them the 6-0 lead.

Tonga came back with two tries and led at halftime 10-6.

Captain Pio Seci managed to break the Tongan’s defence to score Fiji’s second try before Michael Peters sealed the victory with another try.

Fiji dominated most parts of the game and led 24-4 in the first half.

In the second half, the Fiji Residents were again in control as they rampaged through the Tongan defence.

Fiji scored a total of 10 tries.

The two will meet again next Wednesday at 3pm at the ANZ Stadium.

FijiVillage reports Fiji pressured Tonga throughout the match however Tonga managed to score three tries.

Fiji Coach Josaia Rabele says the boys played a lazy game and they could have prevented the Tongan’s from scoring a try.

Rabele says they will need to improve in defence in the ruck area if they want to win games.
