The former All Black Charles Piutau, reportedly one of the highest paid players in British rugby, also made his debut for Tonga on Saturday.
Centre Kaliveti Ravouvou finished a movement which swept almost the length of the field in the 24th minute for Fiji's third try. Earlier, Nigel Ah-Wong scored an intercept try two minutes from fulltime to give Samoa a 31-26 win over Australia A in the opening match of the tournament. Samoa opened the scoring after only five minutes with a try to hooker Seilala Lam and extended its lead in the 21st minute with Ah-Wong's first try.
