Fiji are the Toulouse 7s Champions after picking a 29-17 victory over Ireland in the final played on Sunday at Ernest-Wallon stadium.

The Fijians scored five tries to win the second Cup title in this campaign.  Tevita Dagunu scored the opening try for the Fijians and Napolioni Bolaca added the extras for a 7-0. Jordan Conroy pulled back before scoring again for a 12-7 lead in the sixth minute.

Napolioni Bolaca ensured a slim lead at halftime scoring a converted try that saw the side head to the break with a two-point lead.

In the final half, Josua Vakurunabili, Elia Canakaivata and Kaminieli Rasaku stretch the lead to 29-12.  Conroy scored one more try but was not enough to trim the gap.

Waisea Nacuqu was named the player of the final.  The teams will make a stop over in England for the London7s scheduled for next weekend.
