FIJI Water Flying Fijians seal win at home

FIJI Water Flying Fijians have made a winning start in their campaign for Rugby World Cup beating Tonga 36-20 in the first test match at Churchill Park in Lautoka.

The Simon Raiwalui-coached side made a firing start running three straight tries within 12 minutes.

Referee James Doleman handed a yellow card to Tongan lock Tanginoa Halaifonua and awarded a penalty try to Fiji.

Skipper Waisea Nayacalevu scored in the 7^th minute while four minutes later Sam Matavesi dived over the try line.

Tonga managed to settle in the game and responded with two tries and a penalty before Josua Tuisova ran past the defense line and extended the FIJI Water Flying Fijians score.

Fiji led 26-15 at the breather.

In the second spell, the Ikale Tahi looked to have settled well after getting the first five points. On debut, FIJI Water Flying Fijians fly-half Caleb Muntz played an outstanding performance collecting nine points off the tee.
