The final, was left to the South Islanders big boys – Fiji and Samoa.

The Fijians raced into a 26-0 lead prior to half time. 

Yet a when Tila Mealoi's try was converted the Samoans trailed Fiji by two points.

But Fiji were not to be denied and Jasa Veremalua crossed over, as they ran out 31-24 winners. And a relieved Fijian side they looked.

The tournament moves on to Dubai in early December.
