Fiji Wins Seventh Pacific Nations Cup Title
Fiji secured their seventh Pacific Nations Cup title with a commanding 41-17 victory over Japan in the final held at Hanazono Stadium, Osaka. The match, which saw both teams tied at 10-10 at halftime, transformed in the second half as Fiji scored four tries, including two from debutant Ponepati Loganimasi. Coach Mick Byrne praised his team's effort and effective bench use, while Japan's coach Eddie Jones acknowledged their struggle with the occasion, particularly among younger players. Dylan Riley's spectacular solo try for Japan was a highlight, but it was Fiji's physicality and tactical execution that ultimately led to their win. The victory also boosts Fiji's ranking ahead of the upcoming World Cup and cements their status in the tournament's new format. Samoa finished third after defeating the USA 18-13 earlier in the day.
