The Fiji Babas have booked their place in the Fiji Airways Bowl final at the McDonald’s Fiji Coral Coast 7s after defeating the USA 21–7 in the semi-final at Lawaqa Park, Sigatoka.
USA held a 7–0 lead at halftime, applying early pressure on the Babas. However, the hosts staged a strong second-half comeback, scoring three unanswered tries to seal the win.
Winger Alifereti Nainoca played a key role in the turnaround, crossing for multiple tries as Fiji took control after the break.
