TOKYO : A formidable Fijian side took down Japan 35-12 to secure a clean sweep at the final game of the Pacific Nations Cup in front of a packed crowd at Tokyo's Prince Chichibu Stadium on Saturday.
The Fijians already had the lead after turning over a ruck in Japan's half, leaving captain Waisea Nayacalevu to run in a try off two neat offloads. Japan were run ragged for the rest of the half; Fijian loosehead prop Eroni Mawi crossed in the 18th minute and imperious scrumhalf Simione Kuruvoli contorted himself over the line off a five-metre scrum just before the break.
Nevertheless, Japan did not fold to the end and Fiji-born wingers Jone Naikabula and Semisi Masirewa deserved their consolation tries, having periodically threatened the Fijian back line throughout in the second half.
