Even though they were in the Pool of Death with England and New Zealand, the team kept their hopes alive and qualified for the Cup quarters but Canada proved too strong.
Day 1 of the competition saw them up against New Zealand who was on song as the sun beamed down on Westhills Stadium. Despite some resistance early on, they beat a physical Fiji (38-14).
The Telecom Fijiana and England served up a classic in the afternoon. England looked to be in control with the impressive Amy Wilson-Hardy going under the sticks early. Joanne Watmore and Lavenia Tinai bagged a brace each, leaving it 19-12 with just minutes left. All looked lost for the islanders but a period of pressure paid off with Savu going between the posts with seconds remaining. An important conversion saw the game finish level, 19-19.
They went on to beat Spain 20 – 5 to qualify for the Cup quarters.
The Telecom Fijiana team will return home on Wednesday, 23 April 2015 at 5.50am.
