Australia Men 14 v Fiji Men 35<\/p>\n
Australia are into the knockout stages despite a 35-14 loss to Fiji.<\/p>\n
Their place in the semis was decided before kick off after France took down Argentina.<\/p>\n
Fiji strike first as the Aussies rallied through Henry Hutchison and Aden Ekanayake to leave them trailing by seven at the break.<\/p>\n
But the Fijians hit back in the second half to control the contest, with Douglas Daveta crossing for a double.<\/p>\n
Australia Women 26 v Canada Women 12<\/p>\n
Australia have kept the unbeaten run in Canada going after defeating the hosts 26-7.<\/p>\n
Maddison Levi quieted the home crowd early, crossing for a first half double as they took a 19-7 lead.<\/p>\n
Levi completed the hat-trick shortly after the break as the Aussies secured their place in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n
Australia Men 19 v France Men 7<\/p>\n
Australia has taken a massive step towards the semi-finals with a 19-7 win over France.<\/p>\n
Maurice Longbottom got the action started with a try in his 50th tournament, before debutant Archie Saunders got his first on the World Series.<\/p>\n
Ben Dalton added to the lead after the break as the dogged defensive display from the Aussies kept the French scoreless until after the siren.<\/p>\n
Australia Women 38 v Fiji Women 24<\/p>\n
Australia have come away with a hard-fought 38-24 win over Fiji.<\/p>\n
The Fijians pushed the Australians all the way after Maddison Levi and Faith Nathan scored the opening two tries.<\/p>\n
Levi would get her second but Fiji kept in touch until Mackenzie Davis’ try on the siren shut out any thoughts of the game going to extra time.<\/p>\n
Australia Men 17 v Argentina Men 15<\/p>\n
Australia started the men\u2019s tournament with a hard-fought 17-15 win over Argentina.<\/p>\n
The sides traded tries in the first half, with Jayden Blake\u2019s late effort and sharp goal kicking giving them a two point lead at the break.<\/p>\n
Blake\u2019s second extended the advantage and while Los Pumas hit back with seconds on the clock, the conversion to tie it up just fell short.<\/p>\n
