London 7s: Fiji Leads In World Sevens Series Standing

The Fiji Airways Fijian 7s side lead the 2019 World Sevens Series standings by two points over the USA heading into Paris this weekend.

Gareth Baber’s team has amassed 164 points after nine tournaments and will need a strong finish at the final leg to claim their first series win since 2016/17.

A crushing 43-7 victory over Australia helped the Fijians win their second successive London title this morning, after earlier beating Ireland (33-24) and the USA (17-10) on their way to the final.

Fiji is pooled with Argentina, England and an unconfirmed invitational side in Paris.
