Match ends with Fiji coming away as the eventual winners of this 1st Cup Quarter Final. USA gave an excellent account of themselves.
Gotta feel for the USA as Fiji score a try deep into the second half. Surely no way back now for the USA.
Thompson goes over for the try but, the ref goes up stairs to the TMO. No try from the TMO as the balls was not grounded by the USA player. Pressure still on the Fijian try line
Fiji on the ropes here having to dig deep on defense. USA throwing everything at them.
TMO decision not to award the try as a try saving tackle by the Fijians forces the ball out the sideline.
USA doing great work on attack. Pending a TMO decision could be rewarded with a try.
Handling errors and bad passes may undo the hard work being put in by this USA side. Fiji however are resolute on defense.
Second under way with Fiji now playing from left to right.
Half time , and the USA not out of this one yet.
USA score their first try of the match with a lovely line break by Palefau. 32 years young and running like spring chicken.
