Fiji triumphs

FIJI rallied from 7-12 down at halftime to beat reigning world champion New Zealand 26-12 in yesterday's final of the Gold Coast Sevens, first leg of the International Rugby Board's world series. New Zealand had beaten Fiji 28-5 in pool play on Friday but the Fijians reversed that result, taking control in the second half to deliver an early success for new national coach Etuate Waqa in Australia. Fiji's win in the final gave it an early lead in the IRB world series with 22 points to New Zealand's 19 under a new point system. South Africa beat Australia 17-15 in the playoff for third and fourth and lies third with 17 points ahead of Australia with 15 and Wales on 13.
