Fiji scored a fantastic try against Japan in the Pacific Nations Cup on Saturday in Iwate.

The try was started and finished by centre Levani Botia in the first half and it was a classic Fiji try, filled with offloads and flowing rugby.

Botia fed flanker Semi Kunatani inside Fiji’s half and the Harlequins forward made a clean break down the middle of the pitch before offloading to scrum half Frank Lomani.

The half back was taken down by a Japanese defender but was able to find Kunatani with a return pass, who then linked up with Botia to finish off the try.

This was Fiji’s first points of the game, but it wasn’t enough to topple Japan who ran away with a 34-21 win.
