Shujaa will face Fiji at 2 pm. Fiji beat South Africa in the other semifinal match.

Collins Injera struck twice as Shujaa reached their first ever Hong Kong Sevens cup final.

Amanaki Nicole’s converted try put New Zealand 7-0 up before the Kenyans settled, Sammy Oliech converting Injera’s brace to see Shujaa take a 14-7 lead into the break moments after Oscar Ouma’s try saving tackle on Rocky Khan.

It remained a fair contest after the restart, Shujaa, however, asserting their dominance at the breakdown and indeed the knock blow was delivered from here.

With New Zealand putting Shujaa on the ropes, Jeff Oluoch would force a turnover, Willy Ambaka receiving the ball and racing 95m clear to score under the posts. 

Oliech converting for a 21-7 score before Jona Nareki scored a consolation try for New Zealand at full time.
