Napolioni Bolaca ran straight through the Canadian defense after a scrum inside Fiji’s half for the first try.
Fiji stretched their lead after Jiuta Wainiqolo used his strength from a quick tap two minutes later to score the second try which was converted by Bolaca.
Despite the 14 points deficit, Canada managed to string together a few phases with team effort and at the end, it was captain and the country’s flagbearer at the opening ceremony, Nathan Hirayama who dotted down between the sticks.
The Olympic champions Fiji led 14-7 at halftime.
