FIJI men and New Zealand women claimed the HSBC SVNS Singapore titles on Sunday at the sixth and final regular season round of HSBC SVNS 2025, which saw New Zealand women and Argentina men retain their titles as SVNS League Winners following results on Saturday at Singapore National Stadium.
Double Olympic champions Fiji had to dig deep to overturn a half time deficit against an indomitable Kenya side whose only previous Series title came in Singapore in 2016.
Kenya took a first half lead through Nygel Pettersan Amatisa, but a second half hattrick of tries with a brace from Viwa Naduvalo and one from Rauto Vakadranu turned to final in Fiji’s favour and they ran out 21-12 winners despite a late consolation try from Kenya’s William Mwanji Indakalu.
HSBC Player of the Final Viwa Naduvalo said: “Thanks to my teammates for giving 100% effort. We ended up with the win.”
Fiji’s Tira Wilag Pattersoni said: “The Kenyan team was coming very hard, they are a good side and very physical. It was so tough.”
