Joji Nasova scored two tries and Fiji captured a second consecutive Pacific Nations Cup men's rugby title on Sunday by defeating Japan 33-27 at Salt Lake City.

Fiji seized a 33-10 lead on Nasova's try early in the second half then held off a furious Japan rally over the final minutes in a rematch of last year's final.

"A dream come true," Nasova said.

The Fijians stretched their record Cup title total to seven and took the event's first back-to-back crowns since they won four in a row from 2015-2018.

"We overcame a tough Japanese side that came back on us in the second half," Fiji captain Tevita Ikanivere said. "Proud of the pace they had and the discipline they brought, proud of the boys just working hard for each other."
