Fiji will play South Africa in one of the semi-finals of the Emirates Airline Dubai Sevens after they beat Samoa 12-7 in their quarterfinal match on Saturday.

 IRB Sevens World Series champions New Zealand scored a narrow 21-17 win over Kenya and will face an impressive England in the other semi-final. The English scored an easy 15-5 win over Argentina. South Africa beat Australia 19-0 in their other quaterfinal.

Australia forced the Springboks to make a string of tackles early on and it was only a spectacular break by Renfred Dazel, feeding Ryno Benjamin for an easy touch-down, that saw the South Africans into the lead by 7-0 at halftime.

Robert Ebersohn was the best SA player on the first day and he continued with his good form by scoring the second try from a set piece. Substitute Gio Aplon scored a third try seconds from the end to secure an easy victory for the Springbok Sevens.
