Fiji won its fifth consecutive championship in front of a sold-out crowd at the Hong Kong Stadium, beating France 21-7 in the Cup Final at the Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens on 7th April.

The defending tournament champions opened the scoring in the fifth minute and led the first half with 14-0. France then managed to grasp the chance to fight back being awarded a penalty try. However, from 14-7, the 10th-ranked French could not press the advantage and found themselves back on the defensive.
 

The victory in Hong Kong means Fiji jumps ahead of New Zealand in the world series standing and sits in second with three full rounds to go on before the top four teams confirm their places at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
