Thank you for joining Ultimate Rugby for tonights match.
A match of two very different halfs. The USA had plenty of opportunities to win it, but the Fijians showed their class to hold out for a very narrow victory. What a fantastic match with some entertaining try's.
Fiji turn the ball over, but lose it forward a metre out from the tryline. The USA wins a penalty for being offside and the ref says there is only just enough time for a lineout on half. Last chance for the Americans.
The big Kovekalou makes a break through the midfield but his pass is poor. Goneva manages to make something of it and makes good ground down the side of the field before losing it forward in contact. Seconds remaining in the match, the USA will need to go the length of the field to score.
USA lose the ball metres from the tryline once again.
USA win another penality and set up another maul from a lineout. The maul goes forward with good pace and looks as if a try was about to be scored, but somehow Fiji manage to defend it very well. Edge of your seat stuff.
USA have a 10m lineout, maul has been formed.
For the first time in the match, the Fiji scrum is under pressure. The USA win a penalty after Saulo collapses the scrum.
The USA have certainly upped their game and are dominating and controlling the match, but they will need to eventually convert the opportunities they create into points as there is only 8min remaining.
Shoulder to the face while tackling.
