Sport: Fijiana win another bowl title at Atlanta 7's

12:02 pm on 16 March 2015

The Fiji women's sevens team scored twice in the final 70 seconds to overhaul Spain 17-12 and win the bowl title in Atlanta.

The Fijiana trailed 7-5 at halftime and were headed for a fourth defeat in five games when Spain extended their lead to seven points with two minutes remaining.

But a stunning individual effort down the left-hand touchline from Asinate Savu levelled the match at 12-all before Rusila Nagasau burst through the Spanish defence to score the match-winner on the full-time siren.

The result matched Fiji's win over Spain in the bowl final in Sao Paulo last month and avenged a defeat to the same team in pool play a day earlier.
