Imperious Fiji Win NZI Sevens

Fiji clinched the 2010 NZI Sevens title, winning a stunning final of breathless intensity 19-14 against South Sea Island rivals Samoa.

Iliesa Tanivula's side was the outstanding outfit in the tournament, ending England's title defence at the semi final stage and then going on to clinch a first Wellington crown since 2006.

In doing so, they cut New Zealand's lead in the 2009/10 IRB Sevens World Series to just four points ahead of next weekend's event in Las Vegas, USA. Samoa move up to third in the table, England lie in fourth and Australia's second successive Plate victory moves them up to fifth.
