Holders Wales reached the quarter-finals of the Rugby World Cup Sevens after topping Pool E in Moscow.
Having already
disposed of Uruguay 33-5 on Friday,
Wales beat Tonga 28-19 and then edged Fiji 19-14 in a thriller.
Fiji led 7-5 at half-time with Levani Botia’s converted try after Adam Warren had been sin-binned early on.
But tries from Alex Webber and Lee Williams, adding to Gareth Davies’s first-half effort, proved just enough despite a late Fiji fightback.
Earlier in the day, Wales defeated Tonga in a tough match with tries from Rhys Jones, Davies, Webber and Warren.
The quarter-finals, semi-finals and final will all take place on Sunday.
